That is a good question, Reason, because of its "Sister group".
"Adults have a glossy, greenish-black cap, a greenish back and wings that are grey-black grading into green or blue, a chestnut neck with a white line down the front, grey underparts and short yellow legs."
Yes it is a very lovely picture of this bird, thank you!
