Ebird checklist:

ebird.org/checklist/S163761007

 

Exquisitely plumaged songbird with dark blue head, ivory-white bill, and rusty red body. Endemic to the islands of Amami and Tokunoshima in southern Japan. Prefers mature coniferous and broadleaf evergreen forests but may also show up in gardens. Gives noisy squawking calls much like other corvids and also travels in small flocks.
