Guyana: Short-tailed bird (1 Viewer)

[Holger]

Which species is this? Is from Guyana, Iwokrama River Lodge, March 2023.

 

[Holger]

Maybe a Tiny Tyrant-manakin?

 

[THE_FERN]

Perhaps female fiery-capped manakin (but we can't see the legs: these should be reddish)

 

[Holger]

Shouldn't be the eye red or reddish in the Fiery-capped Manakin? My bird has a dark eye.

We can't really tell the colour here. Anyway you are correct with tiny tyrant manakin because of the distance from the vent feathers to the tail tip. This is small in tiny (as here) and longer in fiery. Otherwise, I'm not sure how we'd distinguish them in many of the images I've seen

Tiny Tyrant-manakin is a species we definitely miss in both the gallery and the opus page for the species.

Great: Neils (probably) will add those to Opus...

I have uploaded one of these to the opus page:

Tiny Tyrant-Manakin - BirdForum Opus

I had a problem I have not encountered before: the image was too large to upload to the opus. I therefore made a crop of the original, hope this is ok.

Cool... Think we should add the one which shows the crown stripe as an additional image. Shall I leave it to you?

 

[Holger]

Crop is okay.

Feel free to do so if you want ...
