The Crested Jay (Platylophus galericulatus) is a species of bird under family Corvidae (crows) but might belong to the Helmetshrikes. This species is monotypic within the genus Platylophus. It can be found in the lowland forest to about 800 m high, mainly at the middle storey tree.
Predominantly dark, nearly black with a small white patch on the sides of its neck, the Crested Jay also has white marks above and below its eyes, and a very long spatulate crest standing straight up over the crown for the adult. The juvenile has a browner above, with rufous tips to wing-coverts, pale to barred at the centre of its belly, and shorter crest. This species is threatened by habitat loss and is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List. It has the tendency to qualify for the threatened category in the near future.
