Description
The capuchinbird is a large thick-set suboscine passerine with a relatively heavy bill. Adults weigh between 340 and 420 grams (12 and 15 oz) and are typically around 40 centimetres (16 in) long, making it the largest suboscine passerine, apart from the Amazonian and long-wattled umbrellabirds – indeed, females average larger than any female umbrellabird. Its plumage is overall rich brown, approaching orange on the belly and undertail coverts, and the remiges and short tail are black. The most distinctive feature is its bare, almost vulture-like head covered in dull blue skin. Juveniles resemble adults, with the exception of some downy feathers on the head.

Feeding Habits
Capuchinbird primarily consumes fruits, demonstrating frugivorous habits. Additionally, capuchinbird supplements its diet with large insects. It employs foraging techniques to locate food, with unique adaptations for fruit processing.
Habitat
The capuchinbird primarily resides in the dense canopy of tropical lowland evergreen forests. These birds inhabit regions within the tropical to lower subtropical zones, venturing up to altitudes of 1,400 meters. Their habitats extend to the humid lowland forests and also include the forested slopes of tepuis, where they are adept at navigating the complex vertical stratification of vegetation.

Species Status
The capuchinbird has a very wide distribution and although it is an uncommon bird, its total population is estimated to be large. The population may be in slight decline because of deforestation, but not at a fast enough rate for it to be considered threatened, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern".
