The club-winged manakin (Machaeropterus deliciosus) is a small passerine bird which is a resident breeding species in the cloud forest on the western slopes of the Andes Mountains of Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.

The manakins are a family (Pipridae) of small bird species of subtropical and tropical Central and South America.

Some species pop like a firecracker, and there are a couple that make whooshing noises in flight.

[5] Each wing of the club-winged manakin has one feather with a series of at least seven ridges along its central vane.

The solid wing bones, a result of sexual selection, are also present in female manakins, who do not benefit from the trait.
