The Sri Lanka frogmouth, known scientifically as Batrachostomus moniliger, is a diminutive avian species, stretching to a modest 23 centimeters in length. Its appearance is characterized by a broad, hooked bill with slit-like nostrils, and a large head with forward-facing eyes that afford it an expansive field of binocular vision. The plumage of this bird is a masterful mimicry of dried leaves, aiding in its concealment when perched amidst the forest's foliage. |
