The long wattled umbrellabird is a sexually dimorphic bird, meaning males and females have distinct physical characteristics Adult males are notable for their impressive long, pendulous wattles that hang from the base of their beaks, giving them a distinctive appearance these wattles can measure up to a third of the bird's total body length the rest of the body is covered in predominantly black feathers with a glossy appearance Females, on the other hand, lack the long wattles and have a more subdued appearance, with brownish-black plumage.
