Epimachus fastosus, Black Sicklebill. Found throughout most of central New Guinea and the Vogelkop region to the northwest in montane forests at altitudes from 1800 to 2150 m. They are primarily omnivorous, feeding on fruits, insects and other animal prey. Unlike most mostly frugivorous cousins, it tends to feed on both items at an equal proportion. It typically feeds solitarily, but mixed foraging flocks aren't abnormal. Voice, two sets of explosive, hollow, double notes “wak-wak! wak-wak!”.
