Fuzzy, far-distant photo of a Manakin deep in the Panamanian rainforest while hiking up the mountain to search for the Harpy Eagle. Our local guides called it a male Golden-headed Manakin.

Golden-headed Manakin (Ceratopipra erythrocephala) Chunky little perching bird in the Manakins (Pipridae) family that is found in lowland forest, both wet and dry, from eastern Panama to northern South America. "Male is distinctive with a black body and bright golden head. The duller female can be very difficult to separate from other female manakins, but note pale bill and very drab coloration. Most often seen around male display sites, where several individuals gather to display for females. Otherwise more difficult to find; singles occur at lower to middle levels of forest, sometimes around fruiting trees.
