The Mindoro cuckooshrike (Coracina mindorensis) is a passerine bird in the family Campephagidae that is endemic to the islands of Mindoro and Tablas in the Philippines. The species was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the bar-bellied cuckooshrike.
Taxonomy
[edit]The Mindoro cuckooshrike was formally described in 1890 by the American ornithologist Joseph Beal Steere based on a specimen collected on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. He coined the binomial name Artamides mindorensis.[1][2] It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the bar-bellied cuckooshrike (Coracina striata) but was promoted to species status based on the significant differences in vocalizations and plumage. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[3]
