This is Probosciger aterrimus stenolphus also known as the
Palm Cokatoo, it differs from the other Palm Cokatoo`s with
a more blueish grey "in the black" and have much narrower
feathers than the other subspecies of the Probosciger
aterrimus Cokatoo`s. All The Palm Cokatoos are black in
color (with red cheeks), but we do not call them Black.
The Black Cokatoo is a completely different bird called:
Calyptorhynchus funereus. Martin George Moltzau
