McGregor's Cuckooshrike

Malindangia mcgregori

McGregor's cuckooshrike or the sharp-tailed cuckooshrike (Malindangia mcgregori) is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is endemic to Mindanao island (Philippines).

This species was formerly placed in the genus Coracina. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found the genus Coracina was non-monophyletic. In the resulting reorganization to create monophyletic genera, McGregor's cuckooshrike is the only species placed in the resurrected genus Malindangia.Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.
