The Striolated Manakin Is The Roundest And The Sweetest Bird That You Will Ever Meet (6+ Photos)

In contrast, Kinglet Manakin is confined to the Atlantic Forest lowlands of eastern Brazil. This tiny-bodied manakin is uncommon to locally fairly common in the lower to middle levels of humid primary forests, as well as shade-coffee plantations and mature second growth, never higher than 1,500 m and mainly at elevations below 1,000 m. Whereas the female is uniform olive-green on the upperparts and mainly yellowish white below with reddish-brown streaks on the belly and flanks, the male is characterized by its glistening red coronal patch and whitish-streaked reddish-chestnut underparts with a yellow or red breast-band, the latter varying to some extent with race, of which five are recognized.
