Jobi Manucode Manucodia jobiensis

A large bird of lowland rainforest. All black with red eye. Purplish-blue iridescence on wings and tail and iridescent scaling on the chest and back. Shy and little known. Best seen at fruiting trees. Very similar to Crinkle-collared Manucode, but Jobi is usually found at lower elevation and lacks the bump on its head. Trumpet Manucode co-occurs but is smaller and has a loose mane of feathers around its neck. Song, a series of hollow “hoo” notes.
