About the Rough-crested Malkoha
The rough-crested malkoha (Dasylophus superciliosus) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is endemic to Luzon Island in the Philippines. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. It is declining due to habitat loss and hunting. It is large, with a long tail and a unique crest. It is sexually monomorphic. Its upperparts, wings, and tail are black with bluish green gloss. Its superciliary, or eyebrow, is composed of long, loosely-webbed red feathers running from its lores to its nape. Its graduated tail feathers are tipped white, and its underparts are black with a dull greenish tinge. Two subspecies are recognized D.s. superciliosus: Southern Luzon; red wattle and longer crest

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 3 recordings for this species: 3 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
