Violaceous Crow
Corvus violaceus Bonaparte, 1850
The violet crow is a species of the crow family, Corvidae, native to Seram, an island in Indonesia. It was long considered a subspecies of the slender-billed crow but has been shown to be divergent genetically. Violet crows have a dark black head and slightly blue black body and have a slightly shorter bill than most other crow species. Source: Wikipedia
