Ribbon-Tailed Astrapia?
Lyre bird?
Not a Bird of Paradise, or a Lyrebird.
is it a greater road runner
Not a member of the cuckoo family.
is it a passerine?
Nope, so that eliminates about 60% of the possible answers! Indeed, none of the answers given are in the right Order of birds.
is it an apodiform?
It is indeed!
grey-rumped treeswift?
Not that family.
red-bill streamer tail?
Right family; only about 300 to choose from!
So we are still looking for a hummingbird with only 4 tail feathers.....

Bee hummingbird?
No, sorry.
It is a single country endemic, and was selected by David Attenborough to be the only bird on his 10 species Ark.
