You might remember a few months ago I posted a photo of a bearded bellbird in the rainforest of Trinidad. As it turns out, the bellbird doesn’t have the corner on the market when it comes to avian beards. Behold the white bearded manakin. Granted, not nearly as spectacular of a beard as the bellbird, but the diminutive manakin makes up for it in confidence. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/125th of a second

A very beautiful little bird indeed!
great pic.,this bird looks like the puffer bird, )great color.
Not hirsute but nearly
A pied puffball shows us how
To strut some vivid feet .
Not to be cynical but…….he looks like he has a goiter, not a beard!
