And both words are derived from 'manneken', the Dutch word for 'little man'

Alan,
Manakins belong to the Family Pipridae and occur in Central and South  
America, while Mannikins belong to (as you probably know) belong to  
the Family Estrildae (in the Clements scheme of things)

Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hi Birders,

In Australia we have Mannikins (aka Chestnut-breasted Mannikin). Is a  
"Manakin"  (as in Red-capped Manakin) the same as a Mannikin?
