About These Birds
Black-faced Cotinga
The Black-faced Cotinga is an elusive, medium-sized cotinga with dark purplish-black plumage and a striking pale face. It is found in humid lowland forests of western Amazonia, primarily in Peru and adjacent Brazil, where it inhabits the forest interior and edges. Little is known of its behavior, but it likely feeds on fruits and berries like other cotingas.
