It looks a lot like the Emperor Fairy-wren Malurus cyanocephalus from PNG.
At least is seems entirely consistent with the painting (page 59) in Richard

So quite some interpretive license calling it our bird.

A google image search did manage to find a less bright version of the photo.
I don't know if this is the original, or a real bird.
