ANDEAN COCK-OF-THE-ROCK Male Rupicola peruvianus. This male Andean Cock-of-the-rock is cocking his head to one side on the lower east slopes of the Andes in northern Ecuador at 3:24 PM on October 3, 2019.

This male was not at a lek.

Males on the east slope have orange plumage rather than the red of the males on the west slope [see www.flickr.com/photos/neotropical_birds_mayan_ruins/23216...].

The Andean Cock-of-the-rock is a member of the family Cotingidae and lives in the Andes of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and Bolivia.
