However, as of December 2025 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) assigns it two subspecies in addition to the nominate C. l. leucorrhoa and calls it the "white-ruffed manakin". The other three taxonomic systems previously did the same, but now treat them (P. altera altera and P. altera heteroleuca) as subspecies of the separate white-ruffed manakin sensu stricto . This article follows the monotypic species model. == Description == The white-bibbed manakin is about 10 cm (3.9 in) long and weighs about 12.5 g (0.44 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic. Adult males are mostly glossy blue-black. Their chin, throat, ear coverts, and the sides of their neck are white; the throat and neck feathers are long and…
