São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil August 2004 The Blue-crowned Manakin is found throughout much of western Amazonia with a disjunct population from Costa Rica through Panama and into western Colombia. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. It is found in the lower levels of humid forest and mature woodland. |

| Throughout most of its range the male is black with a bright blue crown but in eastern Peru, Bolivia and south-west Brazil the male is bluish green with a paler blue crown. Hybridisation suggests that this is not a separate species. The female is green with a pale yellowish face and belly and no blue crown. | ||||
