Striped Manakin - female, Uraba, Colombia

Not happy with the messy, noisy shot, but happy to have found the species. Easy to identify as it is the only female of the manakins that is striped.

Males of the former group have redder underparts than males of the latter, and the two are sometimes treated as separate species, the eastern striped manakin.. more
