Here is this remarkable bird in a striking pose: it sports a long, deeply curved, sickle-shaped beak—which it uses to forage for insects and fruit—along with warm brown upperparts, a heavily barred belly, and, in contrast, a black face and throat. It also has a long tail that appears to exceed the length of its body, hanging vertically from the branch where it is perched. It is one of nature's most extraordinary birds. ~VVVVV+++~
