Yellow Bird of Paradise

Old photo-archive. This bird was donated to Queen Juliana of the Netherlands which send it to Blijdorp - Rotterdam Zoo in 1952. The bird was adult when caught ( at least 5 years ) and missed one eye. It died 1964 at an age of at least 17 years - a great archievement in those days !
From this black and white photo I find it haed to tell but I also would say its Paradisaea minor.
 
Oh, I thought 'Yellow Bird of Paradise' was an alternative common name for P. minor rather than a description of its colour.
