Satinbird

The satinbirds or cnemophilids, are passerine birds of the family Cnemophilidae, from Ancient Greek κνημός (knemós), meaning "mountain/slope", and φίλος (phílos), meaning "lover", which consists of four species found in the mountain forests of New Guinea. They were originally thought to be part of the birds-of-paradise family Paradisaeidae until genetic research suggested that the birds are not closely related to birds-of-paradise at all and are perhaps closer to berry peckers and longbills (Melanocharitidae). The current evidence suggests that their closest relatives may be the cuckoo-shrikes (Campephagidae).
