Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo (Carpococcyx renauldi)
About the Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo
The coral-billed ground cuckoo (Carpococcyx renauldi), also known as Renauld's ground cuckoo, is a large, terrestrial species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae, found in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. The coral-billed ground cuckoo was first described by French zoologist Émile Oustalet in 1895 as Carpococcyx renauldi. Oustalet placed the species in the genus Carpococcyx, noting its physical distinction from the other members of the genus (The Bornean ground cuckoo and the Sumatran ground cuckoo). The species was eponymously named renauldi for R.D. Renauld, a missionary who had collected the specimen's observed by Oustalet from Vietnam's Quảng Trị province.
