Hornbill Species ID?

Taken on 21st June 2024 in the Fragile Forest. I don't think the species was listed on the signboard.
@Nadchew_ biodome also has common green magpies, Malayan peacock-pheasants, Peruvian pigeons, toco toucans and wood ducks. Thought they replaced red lories with black lories but I'm not sure
 
@noobmaster69 I thought the green magpies have shifted to Tortoise shell-ter and toco toucans have been off fragile forest for a while. The wood ducks and malayan peacock pheasants also have not been in the dome for some time. Black lories are currently back of house
 
@Nadchew_ the only Common Green Magpies left in Mandai's collection are the pair at Bird Paradise's Winged Sanctuary. The Toco Toucan from Fragile Forest is the same one at Bird Paradise's Amazonian Jewels/Winged Sanctuary. Malayan Peacock-pheasants are all at Bird Paradise while the Wood Ducks are with the Zoo's Animal Presentations department i think.
 
Hope they change the signs soon, remember still seeing the 4 I mentioned signed and many species actually present unsigned. Haven't seen Malayan peacock-pheasants, the toco toucan and any lories around but I saw a wood duck last October
 
@Nadchew_ thanks a lot for the list! The lineup of Fragile Forest is interesting as always. I wonder what happened to the dik-diks they introduced to the biodome?
