The snow-capped manakin (Lepidothrix nattereri) is a species of bird in the Pipridae family. It is found in the Amazon Basin of Brazil and far north-eastern Bolivia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. This is one of the parent species that hybridized to produce the golden-crowned manakin.[2] A hybrid zone between this species and the opal-crowned manakin exists where the two species ranges come into geographic contact in the Cachimbo Range.[2]
