Indochinese Green Magpie (Cissa hypoleuca)
About the Indochinese Green Magpie
The Indochinese green magpie (Cissa hypoleuca), also known as the yellow-breasted magpie, is a small colourful bird native to the forests of China and Vietnam. The Indochinese green magpie was formally described in 1885 by the Italian zoologists Tommaso Salvadori and Enrico Hillyer Giglioli under the current binomial name Cissa hypoleuca based on a specimen collected in Thủ Dầu Một near Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam. The specific epithet hypoleuca combines the Ancient Greek ὑπο/hupo meaning "beneath" with λευκος/leukos meaning "white".
