Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin

Neopelma chrysocephalum

The Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin, also known as Neopelma chrysocephalum, is a small passerine bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its striking saffron-colored crest and vibrant green and black plumage. This species is often found in the understory of mature tropical forests, where it forages for insects and small fruits. The Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin is known for its distinctive courtship displays, where males gather in leks to perform acrobatic dances to attract females. While the population size of this species is not well-documented, it is believed to be at low risk of extinction due to its wide distribution and presumed large population.
