Rhinoceros Hornbill

Rhinoceros Hornbill adult males have predominantly black plumage contrasted with a white lower belly and thighs, creating a sharply divided overall appearance. The wings, breast, and back are solid black, while the long white tail carries a broad black band near its tip. A large, upward-curving casque, colored yellow to orange-red, rises above the upper bill; this defining structure is keratin-covered, not feathered.
