Long-tailed manakin (Chiroxiphia linearis). Explored.

Since the species are usually into the bushes I could not get enough light for my camera to capture fine details. Hopefully it will still looks nice for my friends ;)

 

The long-tailed manakin (Chiroxiphia linearis) is a species of bird in the Pipridae family. It is found in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest.

 

This is a bird to watch out !!.

 

This Manakin species is very interesting in their family life. The males form a long-term partnership duo or trio. Together they sing in synchrony and, for any female who is attracted by their singing, perform a complex coordinated courtship dance. If she mates, only the alpha male inseminates her. Among many displaying male partnerships in a locality (a dispersed lek), only one or a very few males may account for the vast majority of matings in a given breeding season. As in other lekking species, the female then builds the nest and raises the young without involvement by males
