This spectacular specialty of flooded forests and river islands in western Amazonia sits quietly high in the canopy. This is a male distinguished from the similar Spangled Cotinga (Cotinga cayana) by its lack of black wing scalloping. Females are harder to identify but female Plum-throated usually has pale eyes while Spangled has dark eyes. No vocalizations are known in this species although males make a mechanical twittering sound with their wings in flight. Canon PowerShot SX60 HS.
