The striolated manakin or western striped manakin (Machaeropterus striolatus) is a small South American species of passerine bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in west and north west Amazonia. The striolated manakin was formerly considered conspecific with the kinglet manakin (Machaeropterus regulus) with the common name "striped manakin". Males have a bright red crown, which the females lack.
The striolated manakin is 9–9.5 cm (3.5–3.7 in) in length and weighs around 9.4 g (0.33 oz). The male of the nominate race is olive green above with a red crown and nape. The underparts are streaked redish and white. The throat is whitish. The female lacks the red crown.[6]
