Magnificent Riflebird
Ptiloris magnificus
Magnificent Riflebird adult males have predominantly velvety black plumage, with an iridescent blue-green crown contrasting with the darker head and body. The wings and back are dark and unbarred, while the central tail feathers carry a metallic blue-green sheen against the otherwise black tail. A conspicuous iridescent shield covers the throat and upper breast, its apparent color and brilliance changing with the viewing angle.
