Jobi Manucode
Manucodia jobiensis Salvadori, 1876
Paradisaeidae — Birds-of-paradise
Jobi Manucode, Manucodia jobiensis, is a bird-of-paradise in the family Paradisaeidae that breeds in northern New Guinea. It was described by Salvadori in 1876. It lives in lowland forests and is one of the more common birds-of-paradise in its range. The species is crow-like in form and is similar to the crinkle-collared manucode, but it can be told apart by its neck feathers and shorter tail. Both sexes look alike, though the female is slightly smaller and less vivid.
