Description
Like other manakins, the white-bearded manakin is a compact, brightly coloured forest bird, typically 10.7 centimetres (4.2 in) long and weighing 16.5 grams (0.58 oz). 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. The race endemic to Trinidad, M. m. trinitatis is larger than mainland birds, and the female has yellower underparts. Apart from the buzzing display song, the white-bearded manakin has a number of other calls, including a trilled musical peeerr.

Feeding Habits
White-bearded Manakin primarily consumes fruit and insects, favoring regurgitated fruit for its young. Its distinctive feeding behavior includes foraging and occasional insect hunting.
Habitat
The white-bearded Manakin is typically found in the dense understory of tropical lowland forests and their edges, as well as in secondary growth areas and plantations. These birds prefer regions where the understory vegetation is thick, providing essential cover and feeding opportunities. The species is primarily distributed throughout broader neotropical regions, thriving in habitats characterized by high humidity and relatively constant temperatures.

Distribution Area
In South America, two thirds of white-bearded manakin's range is in the combined Amazon Basin, the Guianas, and the Orinoco River drainage of Venezuela; also eastern Colombia. Three disjunct populations occur: Pacific coastal Ecuador, with southwestern Colombia; coastal and inland western Venezuela with northwestern Colombia; and the largest, southeastern Brazil, with inland regions bordering Paraguay in the south, and from Paraná state to coastal Pernambuco in the northeast. Only one area of the Amazon Basin does not have the species, the 2200 km Purus River region in southwestern Amazonas state.
Species Status
Not globally threatened.
