Biak scrubfowl

Geelvink Scrubfowl The Biak scrubfowl or Biak megapode (Megapodius geelvinkianus) is a species of bird in the family Megapodiidae.

It is found only on the islands of Biak, Mios Korwar, Numfor, Manim and Mios Num in the West Papua region of Indonesia.

It has a slight crest and a reddish or bluish face.

[2] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.

Some taxonomists consider this to be a subspecies of the dusky megapode, others as a subspecies of the orange-footed scrubfowl, but is increasingly looked at as a distinct species.
