Razor-billed Curassow Mitu tuberosum

The Razor-billed Curassow is native to lowland forest of the Amazon Basin in parts of Peru, Bolivia, southern Colombia and northern Brazil.

Male and female have similar glossy iridescent black plumage with a russet underbelly and vent. Both have the red "razor" bill. The only other curassow with a similar bill is Alagoas Curassow, M. mitu, of which the Razor-billed used to be classed as a subspecies; Alagoas, formerly of northeastern Brazil, is now extinct in the wild through deforestation and hunting; there are a few remaining in captivity. The Razor-billed is also hunted in some of its range.
