The Amazonian Umbrellabird is a large cotinga weighing 477 g with an impressive 51.9 cm wingspan, distinguished by its black umbrella-like crest and long wattled throat pouch used in booming display calls. Males gather at leks to attract females in humid Amazonian forests.
Black-faced Cotinga
The Black-faced Cotinga is an elusive, medium-sized cotinga with dark purplish-black plumage and a striking pale face.
