The striolated manakin or western striped manakin (Machaeropterus striolatus) is a small South American species of passerine bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in west and north west Amazonia. The striolated manakin was formerly considered conspecific with the kinglet manakin (Machaeropterus regulus) with the common name "striped manakin". Males have a bright red crown, which the females lack.

Taxonomy

The striolated manakin was described by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1838 and given the binomial name Pipra striolata. [2] The species is now placed in the genus Machaeropterus that was introduced by Bonaparte in 1854. [3]

Five subspecies are recognised: [4]

The morphologically similar painted manakin from northern Peru was described in 2017. It differs from the striolated manakin in its vocalization. [5]

Description

The striolated manakin is 9–9.5 cm (3.5–3.7 in) in length and weighs around 9.4 g (0.33 oz). The male of the nominate race is olive green above with a red crown and nape. The underparts are streaked redish and white. The throat is whitish. The female lacks the red crown. [6]

The white-crowned manakin is a small passerine bird in the manakin family Pipridae. This common and extremely widespread manakin is one of the most easily identified, even in female plumage. It is a resident breeder in the tropical New World from Costa Rica to northeastern Peru and eastern Brazil. It was traditionally placed in the genus Pipra, but is now placed in its own monotypic genus Pseudopipra. It is a small, compact bird about 10 cm (3.9 in) long. Males have black plumage with a white crown which can be erected as a crest, the only member of the Pipridae to possess both an all-black body and a gleaming white crown. Females and juveniles are olive-green, with a grey head and throat, and greyish-green or olive underparts. At breeding time, males are involved in a lekking behaviour. This is a fairly common species with a wide range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".
