Bornean Ground Cuckoo
Carpococcyx radiceus (Temminck, 1832)
Cuculidae — Cuckoos
Bornean Ground Cuckoo, Carpococcyx radiceus, is a cuckoo of Borneo in the Oriental Region, where it lives in humid forest. It is a terrestrial bird and is confined to the island, with its range covering Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia. It was first described by Temminck in 1832. The species was once treated as the same as the Sumatran ground cuckoo. Its name is linked to a genus established later, and some authorities use a different specific epithet.
