Feeding Habits
Yellow-crested Manakin primarily consumes small fruits and insects, employing aerial sallies to capture prey, unusually insectivorous for its family due to its elongated bill. Occasionally joins mixed-species flocks for foraging.
Habitat
The yellow-crested Manakin inhabits areas such as seasonally flooded várzea forests and adjacent scrubby woodlands. This species is also found in seasonally flooded riparian woodlands along black-water streams and oxbow lakes within broader tropical regions.

General Info
Distribution Area
The yellow-crested manakin's range is in a section of the northwestern Amazon Basin, (Amazonas state), and mostly the Rio Negro drainage and the adjacent northwest headwaters to the Caribbean-flowing Orinoco River of Venezuela. Its southern range limit is mostly the Rio Negro southern side, to its Amazonian headwaters in eastern Colombia. Downriver it is found on the final 200 km of the south flowing Branco River of Roraima state; its contiguous section of range extends eastward, only north of and abutting the Amazon River to Amapá state's Trombetas River, the final third. It is not found downriver eastwards beyond the Trombetas–Amazon River confluence.
