It has a large head and large blue bill. The female has a white lower belly and dark grey brown back, rump, and tail.
The first time we saw this bird, we initially identified it as the much more common Black Naped Monarch which we had already seen many times before. This bird is notable for being our lifer via email after Desmond Allen informed us that we misidentified the pictures.
