Australian Brush-turkey Alectura lathami

Description
The Australian Brush-turkey has a mainly black body plumage, bare red head, yellow throat wattle (pale blue in northern birds) and laterally flattened tail. The Australian Brush-turkey is not easily confused with any other Australian bird. It is the largest of Australia's three megapodes (Family Megapodiidae). The megapodes are a distinct family of the group of fowl-like birds (Order Galliformes), which includes quails, turkeys, peafowl and junglefowl.

Hello Fatih,
This is a remarkable picture,Fatih. Very pleasant horizontal framing, nice integration of the little white flower in the picture. The colors are lovely and the subject interesting. For me it's a great shot.
Thanks
Anne
