The Black-capped Becard is a medium-sized, sexually dimorphic cotinga relative of Amazonian and Guianan forests, with males displaying a glossy black cap contrasting with grey and white plumage. It inhabits the canopy and sub-canopy of humid lowland forests and forest edges from the Guianas and Venezuela south through Amazonian Brazil and into Bolivia. It feeds on insects and small berries.
