The green manakin (Cryptopipo holochlora) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The green manakin was originally described as Chloropipo holochlora. During much of the twentieth century it was placed in genus Xenopipo. However, a study published in 2013 showed that Xenopipo was polyphyletic and proposed a new genus Cryptopipo for the green manakin. Taxonomic systems soon adopted the reassignment.
Before the reassignment and for a time after it several systems assigned four subspecies to Crytopipo holochlora. By 2023 many had separated what is now the Choco manakin (C. litae) with two subspecies from C. holochlora. However, as of October 2025 the independent South American Classification Committee has not recognized the Choco manakin.
The green manakin is 11 to 13 cm (4.3 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 10.6 to 18.3 g (0.37 to 0.65 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green Manakin sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 623rd most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green Manakin in Manu National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Manakin sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Green Manakin sightings, Manu National Park ranks 6th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Darién National Park (Panama, under 5%), Podocarpus National Park (Ecuador, under 5%) and Sierra de la Macarena National Park (Colombia, under 5%).
Same family: Pipridae
The closest relatives of the Green Manakin that you can see in Manu National Park (family Pipridae, Manakins) are Fiery-capped Manakin (about 10%), Band-tailed Manakin (about 10%) and Dwarf Tyrant-Manakin (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Manakin is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (6 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
