(Malayan) Black Hornbill Anthracoceros malayanus

The Black Hornbill, also called the Malayan Black and Asian Black Hornbill, comes from Southeast Asia (mainly Malayasia, Singapore, Thailand, Borneo and Indonesia). It has a disproportionate casque on its bill, ivory-coloured on the male (above) and black on the female (who also has pink around her eyes). The body and wings are black but they have a white under tail band.

She (above right) has lighter irises than he has.

Some Black Hornbills, both male and female, have thick, white (or silvery) eyebrows running down to their nape.
