Sharpe's lobe-billed parotia

Sharpe's lobe-billed parotia, also known as Sharpe's lobe-billed riflebird, is a bird in the family Paradisaeidae that Erwin Stresemann proposed is an intergeneric hybrid between a long-tailed paradigalla and western parotia, an identity confirmed by DNA analysis.

[1] Only one subadult male specimen is known of this hybrid, held in the British Natural History Museum, presumably deriving from the Vogelkop Peninsula of north-western New Guinea.

It is named after its describer, British ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe.
