The Black Nunbird is a medium-sized puffbird with entirely glossy black plumage and a bright red bill. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests of the Guiana Shield and northeastern Amazonia, including Venezuela, the Guianas, and northern Brazil. It perches quietly in the mid to upper forest, making short sallying flights to capture large insects and small lizards.
