Sunda Cuckoo
Cuculus lepidus Müller, S, 1845
Cuculidae — Cuckoos
Sunda Cuckoo, Cuculus lepidus, is a cuckoo of the Oriental Region, breeding in montane parts of the Malay Peninsula, the Greater and Lesser Sundas, and Seram in the Moluccas. It was first described by Müller in 1845. It is placed in the family Cuculidae. The species is often treated as distinct from the Himalayan Cuckoo and Oriental Cuckoo because of differences in voice, size and plumage. Its range is centred on forested mountain areas, where it is found across its breeding range.
