A male and female Orange-collared Manakin in the male’s lek located in a bright green leafy understory

The Orange-collared Manakin (Manacus aurantiacus) painting. They favour underbrush and tangle, often at eye level. A Lek is a fun way of seeing these guys in action.
Like Wrens they’re sometimes found moving with mixed flocks but only within their own territory.
