the pompadour cotinga is a distinctly burgundy member of the cotinga family found in the amazon rainforest. they are primarily frugivorous, but are known to consume insects and small prey such as lizards on occasion, particularly to supplement their diet during the breeding season. like other cotingas, the sexual dimorphism in this species is stark, with the male’s vibrant burgundy coloring standing out against the female’s pale gray. males perform an elaborate mating ritual for the female, but have little to no involvement in raising the young.
