The red-capped manakin (''Ceratopipra mentalis'') is a species of bird in the Pipridae family. It is found in Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The bird is probably best known for the male's unusual courting method whereby it shuffles rapidly backwards across a branch, akin to a speedy moonwalk. ==Taxonomy== The placement is disputed among taxonomists, with some including it in ''Pipra'' and others placing it in its own genus, ''Ceratopipra''.) It is closely related to, and in eastern Panama sometimes hybridizes with, the golden-headed manakin.〔 There are three recognized subspecies:〔 *''C. m. mentalis'', first described by Philip Lutley Sclater in 1857.〔 *''C. m. ignifera'', first described by Outram Bangs in 1901.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Itis report: ''Pipra mentalis'' )〕 *''C. m. minor'', first described by Ernst Hartert in 1898.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red-capped manakin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
