Opal-crowned Manakin (Lepidothrix iris)
About the Opal-crowned Manakin
The opal-crowned manakin (Lepidothrix iris) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is endemic to Brazil. The opal-crowned manakin was originally described in 1851 as Pipra iris. By the late 1900s genus Lepidothrix was recognized as separate from Pipra and several species including the opal-crowned manakin were assigned to it. The opal-crowned manakin has two subspecies, the nominate L. i. iris (Schinz, 1851) and L. i. eucephala (Todd, 1928).
