bell-bird

Name given to several birds in the order Passeriformes, on account of their notes, but applied in particular to the Brazilian campanero, a species of the family Cotingidae. It is a white, fruit-eating bird, and is noted for a long, black, fleshy appendage dotted with feathers which hangs from its forehead and become elongated when the bird utters a cry.
