The round-tailed manakin (Ceratopipra chloromeros) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The red-headed manakin was originally described as Pipra chloromeros. Though its present genus Ceratopipra had been erected in 1854, the round-tailed manakin was not transferred to it until the early 2000s.
The round-tailed manakin is monotypic. The round-tailed manakin is 10.5 to 11 cm (4.1 to 4.3 in) long and weighs about 16.5 g (0.58 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic. Its tail has a rounder end than those of other Ceratopipra manakins. Adult males have an almost entirely red head and neck. Their thighs are creamy yellow. Their throat and the rest of their plumage are black. Adult females are mostly dull olive-green; their underparts are lighter than their back, especially on the belly. Both sexes have a blackish bill and smoky pinkish legs and feet. Males have a white iris and females a grayish one. Immature birds of both sexes resemble adult females but with a darker gray iris.
The round-tailed manakin is found from southern Amazonas Department in eastern Peru... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Round-tailed Manakin sighting in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, based on 233 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 191st most-seen of the 550 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May and July–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Round-tailed Manakin in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in February, April and June, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Round-tailed Manakin sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Round-tailed Manakin sightings, Tambopata National Reserve has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Manu National Park (Peru, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Round-tailed Manakin is recorded against all the birds logged in Tambopata National Reserve (233 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.
