Masius chrysopterus
Most Manakins have a lek-mating system where males perform elaborate courtship displays to attract females. The female is dull green overall with yellow highlights on the face and belly.
Golden-winged Manakin are a family of small, largely frugivorous songbirds that live in the tropics of the Americas. They occur in middle elevations in the northern Andes from Venezuela to northern Peru.
This species feeds primarily on small fruits, which are obtained in short sallies.
