Fiery Topaz - Topaza pyra amaruni Juan Freile 2025-09-24 Arajuno Jungle Lodge, Río Arajuno, Nap, Tena (Ecuador) (380 m) call, song -

Song seems more appropriate than calls or chase calls as described in literature. 2-3 males were interacting with one female, perching 0.30–4 m above water level, sometimes chasing each other, others hovering above water, hawking insects in flight or hovering in front of the female. The fast jumble is given my one male when facing another male or when facing the female, but also from perch. Habitat was a small oxbow lake near the river surrounded by secondary forest and an open area.
