manakin
Small forest bird
A manakin is a small, brightly colored bird of Central and South American tropical forests.
Males are known for elaborate courtship displays—dancing, wing-snapping, and acrobatic moves to attract females.
The word is unrelated to mannequin, though both derive from words meaning "little man."
