Pipra iris Schinz, 1851 The opal-crowned manakin (Lepidothrix iris) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae.

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.

This is one of the parent species that hybridized to produce the golden-crowned manakin.

[2] A hybrid zone between this species and the snow-capped manakin exists where the two species' ranges come into geographic contact in the Cachimbo Range.
