  Phaenicophaeus curvirostris (Shaw, 1810)

  Phaenicophaeus curvirostris, known as the Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, is a cuckoo belonging to the family Cuculidae (Avibase, 2018). The Chestnut-breasted Malkoha measures approximately 46 cm, including a 26 cm tail. It has a dark oily-green upper side and dark chestnut underparts. The tip of the outer uppermost part of the tail is also chestnut color and the vent is blackish (Robson, 2015). The crown, nape and cheeks are mid-grey. The upper bill is thick and pale yellowish to pale greenish, whereas the facial skin around the eye is red. Eye colour differentiates the male from the female; the male has bright pale blue eyes, whereas the female has golden-yellow to whitish eyes (Robson, 2015).
