It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. == Taxonomy and systematics == A few late twentieth century authors merged genus Doliornis into Ampelion but multiple studies since then have confirmed its separation. The chestnut-bellied cotinga is monotypic. It shares genus Doliornis with the bay-vented cotinga (D. sclateri) and the two form a superspecies. == Description == The chestnut-bellied cotinga is about 21 to 21.5 cm (8.3 to 8.5 in) long and weighs 58 to 72 g (2.0 to 2.5 oz). The sexes have almost the same plumage. Adult males have a black crown and nape with a usually hidden dark orange-red crest in the middle of the crown; the rest of their head is dark gray. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are blackish. Their breast is dark grayish and the rest of their underparts are rich rufous-chestnut. Adult females have an entirely dark gray head with lighter gray fringes on the feathers but are otherwise like males. Both sexes have a dark red-brown iris, a slate gray to black bill, and dark gray to black legs and feet. == Distribution and habitat == The chestnut-bellied cotinga…
