The Manu Antbird (Cercomacra manu) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with males having a black head and upperparts, and females having a rufous crown. These birds are often found foraging in the understory of dense, humid forests, where they use their sharp bills to glean insects from foliage and dead leaves. They are known for their distinctive calls, which often include a series of clear whistled notes. The Manu Antbird is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, due to its wide distribution and presumed large population.
