White-collared Manakin (male) (1 Viewer)

Alaska/Belize Birder
These frames from digital video I took in Belize are submitted for database consideration. It looks like the only image so far (and brilliant it is!) is of the female White-collared Manakin. This is a male near his lek, and in the vicinity of other males at their leks, during their mating "competitions".

Again, being frames from digital video footage, these photos are not of the high caliber of the others submitted in this forum but perhaps useful for general identification. There is some footage of the wing-snapping display of the male here:

This is also from Mayflower Bocawina National Park where I spend a lot of my Belize time (perhaps all too obviously...).
