[edit] Classification

Rasmussen and Anderton 2005 treat Hierococcyx as a distinct genus and does not treat this species as a Cuculus. This needs to be verified from more recent molecular work and corrections need to be incorporated in this and the Cuckoo article which does not list this species. Shyamal


The photographs are a total mess. The brain fever-bird is sexually dimorphic. The male is pitch black. The female is a spotted brown. The photos displayed belong to some other species. Allow me to send your a correct picture.
