plavoglava rajska ptica Manucodia chalybatus

A large bird of foothill and lower montane forest and scrub. All black with red eye, fairly long bill and tail. Purplish-blue iridescence on wings and tail and iridescent scaling on the chest and back. Shy, but sometimes seen at fruiting trees. Very similar to Jobi Manucode, but Crinkle-collared is usually found at higher elevations and has a characteristic bump on its head. Trumpet Manucode co-occurs but is smaller and has a loose mane of feathers around its neck. Voice, a low raspy “raag!” or low “oowak-oo!”. Call note is a low “wak!”.
