The Arfak astrapia (Astrapia nigra) is a species of bird-of-paradise.

In the wild, the bird has hybridised with the black sicklebill creating offspring that were once considered a distinct species, the elliot's sicklebill Epimachus ellioti. While some ornithologists still believe that this bird is a distinct species, possibly critically endangered or even extinct, many now think it was a hybrid between the two species.

Conservation status

Protected by its geographical isolation and undisturbed forests home, the Arfak astrapia is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES.

Description

Levaillant of France described this bird as L’Incomparable or Incomparable bird-of-paradise.

Distribution

Astrapia nigra is endemic to the Arfak Mountains in Vogelkop Peninsula, West Papua.
