Sulawesi Brush Cuckoo, Cacomantis virescens, is a cuckoo of the family Cuculidae that lives in Sulawesi and nearby islands, including the Banggai Islands, the Sula Islands, Butung and the Tukangbesi Islands. It is associated with moist lowland forest and moist montane forest in tropical and subtropical zones.
