The Visayan cuckooshrike (Coracina panayensis) is a passerine bird in the family Campephagidae that is found on the western Visayas of the Philippines. The species was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the bar-bellied cuckooshrike.
Taxonomy
[edit]The Visayan cuckooshrike was formally described in 1890 by the American ornithologist Joseph Beal Steere based on a specimen collected on the island of Panay in the Philippines. He coined the binomial name Artamides panayensis.[2][3] It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the bar-bellied cuckooshrike (Coracina striata) but was promoted to species status based on the differences in morphology and vocalizations. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[4]
