This is the pose of the Victoria's Riflebird (Lophorina victoriae) Ptiloris victoriae when making his loud calls in the mating season. The yellow inside the mouth is the most obvious, but he also fluffs up the green feathers on the lower abdomen. He doesn't fan the wings when calling, but if the female appears and he claps the wings he will open the bill fully while pointing upwards. This is a different individual to the one I posted yesterday, this one was relatively close to a 4WD track, but this display perch came down in the last wet season, so the other one is a 2km walk with the gear... Easy to hear, not to photograph.
