Penelopides mindorensis Steere, 1890
Bucerotidae — Hornbills
Mindoro Hornbill, Penelopides mindorensis, is a hornbill of the family Bucerotidae that breeds in the Oriental Region on Mindoro in the Philippines. It is confined to forests on Mindoro, including tropical moist lowland forest. Among the Philippine tarictic hornbills, it is the only one in which both sexes are creamy-white and black. The male and female are otherwise very alike, with the main difference in the eye ring, which is pinkish-white in the male and blue in the female. It was described by Steere in 1890.
