==Description== Wilson's bird-of-paradise is rather small. Males can reach a length of {{convert|16|cm}} (21 cm including central rectrices) and a weight of 53β67 g., while females can reach a length of 16 cm, but a weight of 52β60 g.<ref name=Frith>Frith, C. & Frith, D. (2017). [http://www.hbw.com/species/wilsons-bird-paradise-cicinnurus-respublica Wilson's Bird-of-paradise (Cicinnurus respublica)] Handbook of the Birds of the World.</ref> The male is a red and black [[bird-of-paradise]], with a yellow mantle on its neck, light green mouth, rich blue feet, and two curved violet tail feathers. The head is naked blue, with a black double [[cross]] pattern on it. The female is a brownish bird with a bare blue crown. In the field, the blue bare skin on the crown of the bird's head is so vivid that it is clearly visible by night; the deep scarlet back and velvet green breast are lush, the [[curlicue]] tail gleaming bright silver.
