Obi Cicadabird (Edolisoma obiense)

Now split from the "Common Cicadabird"' there is apparently no published information on the diet of this species but we observed this one eating a katydid. Cicadabirds are named because of their Cicada-like buzzing calls. This is a female. The male is almost entirely gray. Formerly placed in the genus "Coracina".

Thanks, I had not yet gotten around to the redirects. They are now made for the other 12 new species in this complex :)
