The Orange-collared Manakin Manacus aurantiacus, is in the manakin family. It is an endemic resident breeder in Costa Rica and western Panama.
It occurs in the lowlands and foothills of the Pacific slope up to 1100 m, being replaced on the Caribbean slopes of tropical Central America by the closely related White-collared Manikin and eastwards of its range to northwestern Colombia by the Golden-collared Manikin. This is a bird of semi-open moist forest, tall second growth, shady plantations and gardens.
The Orange-collared Manakin is, like its relatives, a compact short-tailed bird with a heavy hooked bill, orange legs and brightly colored male plumage.
