The purple throat often looks black in poor light and females lack the
throat patch. Males extend the colored gorget during displays. This
unique bird is in the Cotinga family. This individual was part of a small
flock. Their shape, size and overall plumage reminded me of the Lewis's
Woodpecker of North America.
