No definately not either - this bird did not have a psittacid beak and it had fuller, rounded wings as it flew - like a jay but a bit larger. The tail was quite full and long and was white underneath, with possibly some black on top/down the middle. The coloration was stongly black and white, possibly some irridescence in blue/green/violet on the back. The bird had a crest in black, and I think a largish eye. Can't remember the beak/eye/leg colors - I didn't get a good enough look or they didn't stand out - maybe dark colors. Thank you for checking - I'm working my way through the exotics here - closest is a Pintailed Whydah, but without the super long black tail.
