Coroneted fruit dove, Jalan Korea, Papua Funny backstory is that our local guide kept pointing to a spot in the canopy but I failed to see any bird. Not using a laser pointer, not using binoculars. Out of politeness I just took a photo of the spot. Only after deeply zooming into the photo did I discover this dove.
