Bird-ID please.
« on: October 28, 2015, 20:49:50 »
I took these images in the Tangkoko National Parc in the North of Sulawesi (Indonesia).
I thought it's a Yellow-billed Malkoha, but I hesitate because of the yellow tale (according to the books it's blue/black)

Thanks for helping out.

Lyrebirds are Australian, I would love to see one of those in the wild. :)
