Umbrellabirds are passerine birds in the genus Cephalopterus of the family Cotingidae. They are almost entirely black, featuring a feathered crest resembling the form of an umbrella. All have an inflatable wattle on the neck, which serves to amplify their loud, booming calls. This wattle may reach a length of 35 cm (14 in) in the long-wattled umbrellabird, but it is smaller in the two remaining species, and covered in bare, bright red skin in the bare-necked umbrellabird. Females resemble males, but are noticeably smaller and have a reduced crest and wattle.
