Palawan Drongo
Dicrurus palawanensis Tweeddale, 1878
Dicruridae — Drongos
Palawan Drongo, Dicrurus palawanensis, is a passerine in the family Dicruridae that lives in the Palawan group and nearby islets in south-western Philippines. It was described by Tweeddale in 1878. It is a drongo of primary lowland forest, second growth and dense scrub, recorded up to 1,500 metres above sea level. Two subspecies are recognised, with one on Palawan and several nearby islands, and the other on Semirara and Cuyo. It was once treated as part of the Hair-crested drongo group, but is now separated on the basis of voice, structure and molecular evidence.
