The French term "Cordon Bleu" is translated as "Blue Ribbon." This species of arid country often forages on the ground. This is a male showing the all blue head and red bill. Females are similar but have a brown crown. Some sources, notably IOC and African Bird Club, hyphenate the English name as "Cordon-bleu."
