Green manakin Species of bird

The green manakin is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It occurs in humid forest in lowlands and foothills. The distribution is disjunct, with one population in the western Amazon Basin and adjacent east Andean foothills in southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador and eastern Peru, and another population in the humid Chocó in eastern Panama, western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. It has been suggested that the latter population may be a separate species, the Lita manakin. As suggested by its common name both the male and the female of the green manakin are overall green. It remains fairly common locally, and is consequently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and IUCN.
