Bird ID?

Sedgwick County Zoo - July 2, 2024. Purple-throated fruitcrow?
I'm not sure, but it could be because the tail and the bill shape look right. I'm not certain whether the Sedgwick County Zoo has Purple-throated Fruit Crows, but their bird collection is one of the largest in the U.S. and they add species each year!
 
Nothing about this photo rules out female Purple-throated fruitcrow, although I'm hesistant to confirm it based on this photo alone.

But I can't really think of any other all-black birds with this bill shape.
