Short-tailed Paradigalla (Paradigalla brevicauda)

The sexes are similar with the diagnostic greenish wattle on the forehead. Short-tailed Paradigallas are distinguished from the rare Long-tailed Paradigallas by its smaller size and stubby tail. They occur in primary forest and along forest edges at altitudes between 1,600 and 2,600 m. They are shy and skulking, like all members of this family.
