The red satinbird (Cnemophilus macgregorii sanguineus), commonly known as antenna satinbird or crested cnemophilus and formerly known as the sickle-crested bird-of-paradise, is a subspecies of bird in the family Cnemophilidae. It was formerly placed in the bird-of-paradise family Paradisaeidae until genetic work proved it was unrelated to those birds. It is found in the Bird's Tail Peninsula, Papua New Guinea.
