The White-Bearded Manakin (Manacus manacus) is known for its unique, loud wing-snapping display at communal leks where males compete for females. Males perform a rapid "snap-jump" movement, where they jump and bring their wings together above their back, creating a distinct mechanical "popping" sound. The adult male has a black crown, upper back, wings and tail, and the plumage is otherwise white. He has orange legs. The female and young males are olive-green and resemble female golden-headed manakins, but they have orange legs. This small, black and white bird feeds on small fruits and insects, and requires dense undergrowth for shelter and foraging. It is found in several South American countries, including Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, Bolivia, and northern Argentina.
