Media notes
Remarks: The Black-bellied Malkoha is said to be seen and photographed less often as it is more "shy' than the commonly seen Green-billed Malkoha Phaenicophaeus tristis longicaudatus. The birds can, at a quick look, be mistaken for each other and their habitat overlap. The key differentiating features are: Tail length: The Black-bellied has a tail length about equal to the body while the Green-billed has a longer 1:1.5 times body-tail length. See composite Black-bellied on the right. Face patch: The Green-billed often has a clear white boarder to the red face patch, while the Black-bellied does not. Head: The Black-bellied had a darker grey in the head and neck while the Green-billed has slaty grey on the face and neck. Iris colour: Pale blue to dark brown in the Black-bellied and brown to red-brown in the Green-billed. - Amar. Date added to OBI: May 06, 2015.
