Does anyone know what this bird of paradise I saw on TV is called?

I was watching a nature programme the other day, and saw the most amazing bird. It was an exotic bird, possibly a bird of paradise. Fairly small, black, but the striking thing it did was a weird courtship dance, where it lifted its wings up and held them over itself, and it had neon yellow markings that looked like a weird face against the black background. It was so weird, I want to find a picture of it but didn't catch what it was called!!! Any ideas?

Note: this isn't the bird that hangs upside-down from a branch.
