The band-tailed manakin (Pipra fasciicauda) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is a small, frugivorous passerine found in humid montane and lowland tropical forests throughout Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Band-tailed Manakin is recorded against all the birds logged in Campo Grande (28 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
