Silver-crowned Friarbird

Scientific Name: 

Philemon argenticeps

This bird has a very bizarre call which travels far and wide and is described by Simpson & Day as 'more tobacco, uh-more tobacco.' Also very bizarre looking with the small knob (casque) on the base of their bill (second photo), and an unusual silvery-grey gorget (throat). The silver crown can be clearly seen in the bottom photo.
