Seram Oriole (Oriolus forsteni)

Often called "Grey-collared Oriole" this is another Seram Island endemic that usually forages high in the canopy. It superficially resembles Seram Friarbird but lacks bare skin on the face. They are in the Old World Oriole family (Oriolidae) unrelated to New World Orioles which are in the Blackbird family (Icteridae). Males and females are alike. This species is apparently new to the gallery.
