Chestnut-breasted Malkoha

Cuculiformes - Cuculidae - Phaenicophaeus curvirostris (Cenuk Dada Perang/Cenuk Ekor Coklat)

Combination of a bright red face, staring pale eyes, and chunky bicolored bill lends this lowland and foothill forest species a clownlike countenance. Dark glossy greenish above and rich chestnut-brown below, this oversized cuckoo clumps about amongst foliage, looking rather squirrel-like in its movements. Sometimes joins mixed flocks. Gives a range of strange calls, including hollow knocks and hoarse crowing and mewing notes.

What's beauty ....
