Long-tailed Manakin (Chiroxiphia linearis)

Rincon de La Vieja, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Despite the male's bold colours this is a surprisingly difficult wee bird to pick out in the dense subcanopy. Males have an assortment of calls -the most prominent of which is a loud whisteld Tooo-leee-doo, hence the birds local name of Toledo!
