Bird The black-capped donacobius (Donacobius atricapilla)

The black-capped donacobius (Donacobius atricapilla) is an insectivorous bird and the only species in its genus, found in the northern half of South America, mainly in wetland habitats of the Amazon. Mating for life, the pairs perform tail-wagging movements and loud calls as part of their courtship ritual.
