This bird hadn’t been documented by scientists since 1882. Then they captured video of it in Papua New Guinea

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/19/world/black-naped-pheasant-pigeon-scn-trnd/index.html


Researchers captured footage of the black-naped pheasant-pigeon 140 years after the bird was last documented by scientists.
