#56 - Brush Bronzewing (Phaps elegans) - Devster, I had to google what a Ruff was, I did not even know that they existed! And I was surprised at how elaborate their breeding plumage is, it is so pretty!

yeah they are. I must admit I didn't know what it was until it was posted on Eremaea and Pacman helped me find it.
