The bare-necked fruitcrow (Gymnoderus foetidus) is a species of

Amazon Rainforest, especially near rivers. It is relatively common, but generally rarer and more local north of the Amazon River
. Both sexes are overall mainly blackish, but the male has distinctive, large greyish-blue facial- and neck-wattles and greyish-white wings, which flash conspicuously in flight.

Population

Population numbers appear to be decreasing, but because it is less than a 30% decline over ten years or three generations, they are not on the Vulnerable list.[2]
