The male is pure white except for a narrow black tip to the outer wing feathers and, in young individuals, a black tip to the central tail feathers. The female looks very different, having the head and upper parts brownish-grey, and the wings and tail brownish-black. The wing-coverts and the inner flight feathers have broad white margins. The underparts are pale grey fading to white on the belly.

Feeding Habits
Black-tipped Cotinga primarily consumes fruits, utilizing foraging tactics that are specialized for their arboreal habitat. Notably adept at sourcing and indulging in a variety of fruit, black-tipped Cotinga displays feeding behaviors and preferences unique to its species, though no unusual dietary adaptations are specified.
Habitat
The black-tipped Cotinga predominantly resides in humid forest environments which include mangroves. It's also found occupying adjacent secondary woodlands at elevations up to approximately 900 meters, although there has been a rare observation of the species at an altitude of 1450 meters. The bird favors these moist, dense forested areas across broader tropical regions.

Species Status
The total population of this bird has not been quantified but it is believed to be declining overall. Destruction of lowland forests, especially in Ecuador, is causing the population locally to diminish but this bird is not yet considered to be a vulnerable species. The bird has a very large range, and although it is generally uncommon, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as a "least-concern species" because it does not believe that either the decline in its range, nor in its total population, is sufficient to put it in a more threatened category.
