The largest frogmouth species in the region, with an enormous, broad, hooked bill and cryptic bark-like plumage that makes it nearly invisible when perched motionless by day.
Nocturnal, hunting large insects and small vertebrates by sallying from a perch. A prized night-drive sighting, usually located by its deep, booming call.
