About the Green Manakin
The green manakin (Cryptopipo holochlora) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The green manakin was originally described as Chloropipo holochlora. During much of the twentieth century it was placed in genus Xenopipo. However, a study published in 2013 showed that Xenopipo was polyphyletic and proposed a new genus Cryptopipo for the green manakin. Taxonomic systems soon adopted the reassignment.
Before the reassignment and for a time after it several systems assigned four subspecies to Crytopipo holochlora. By 2023 many had separated what is now the Choco manakin (C. litae) with two subspecies from C. holochlora. However, as of October 2025 the independent South American Classification Committee has not recognized the Choco manakin.
According to the IOC, the Clements taxonomy, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World the green manakin has two subspecies, the nominate C. h. holochlora (Sclater, PL, 1888) and C. h. viridior (Chapman, 1924).
The green manakin is 11 to 13 cm (4.3 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 10.6 to 18.3 g (0.37 to 0.65 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults... Wikipedia →
