Drepanornis is a genus of bird-of-paradise found in forests of New Guinea. They have long decurved sickle-like bills and an overall brown plumage.
The genus is sometimes considered a subgenus of Epimachus,[1] but the two members of Drepanornis have a far shorter tail[2] and their sexual dimorphism is less extreme.[1]
