Birds-of-paradise (Paradisaeidae)
Trumpet Manucode (Manucodia keraudrenii) - HBW 14, p. 464
French: Paradisier de Keraudren
German: Trompeterparadieskrähe
Spanish: Ave-del-paraíso Trompetera
Other common names: (Australian) Trumpetbird, (The) Manucode; Hunstein's Manucode (hunsteini)
Taxonomy: Barita Keraudrenii Lesson and Garnot, 1826, Dorey, north-western New Guinea.
Sometimes placed in a monotypic genus, Phonygammus. Sympatric with M. ater, M. jobiensis or M. chalybatus at various localities, but no cases of hybridization recorded. Race hunsteini has been considered possibly a separate species. Proposed race mayri (described from Wau, in NE New Guinea) synonymized with purpureoviolaceus, but may, like many other Huon Peninsula forms, prove to be distinct; further study required. Birds of Mamberamo R area not yet assigned to any subspecies. Nine subspecies currently recognized.
