About the Sunda Crow

The Sunda crow is a passerine bird of the family Corvidae that is found in South-East Asia, from Malaysia to Borneo. The Sunda crow is part of the Corvus enca species complex, which was formerly treated as a single species and known as the slender-billed crow. The complex is now treated as five species, after four subspecies were split off as distinct species: the Samar crow or small crow, the Palawan crow, the Sulawesi crow and the Sierra Madre crow. The violet crow was also once included, but has been shown to be distinct genetically and separated as Corvus violaceus.
