Manakin

The manakins are a clade (Pipridae) of unique small suboscine passerine birds. The group contains some 60 species distributed through the American tropics. The name is from Middle Dutch ''mannekijn'' "little man" (also the source of the different bird name ''mannikin'').〔''New Oxford American Dictionary'' (2nd ed., 2005), p. 1032.〕
==Description==
They range in size from 7 to 15 cm (2.8–6 in) and in weight from 8 to 30 g (0.28-1.1 oz). The genus ''Tyranneutes'' comprise the smallest manakins, the genus ''Antilophia'' are believed to be the largest (since the ''Schiffornis'' genus are no longer considered manakins). They are compact stubby birds with short tails, broad and rounded wings, and big heads. The bill is short and has a wide gap. Females and first-year males have dull green plumage; most species are sexually dichromatic in their plumage, the males being mostly black with striking colours in patches, and in some species having long, decorative tail or crown feathers or erectile throat feathers. In some species, males from two to four years old have a distinctive subadult plumage.〔
The syrinx or "voicebox" is distinctive in manakins, setting them apart from the related families Cotingidae and Tyrannidae. Furthermore, it is so acutely variable within the group that genera and even species can be identified by the syrinx alone, unlike birds of most oscine families. The sounds made are whistles, trills, and buzzes.〔
