Palawan Drongo (Dicrurus palawanensis)
About the Palawan Drongo
The Palawan drongo (Dicrurus palawanensis) is an Asian bird of the family Dicruridae. It was formerly considered conspecific with the hair-crested drongo. It is endemic to Palawan. It was formerly conspecific with the Hair-crested drongo but was designated as unique based on its different sounding call, physical differences and through molecular studies. It was formerly conspecific with the Hair-crested drongo species complex which has now been split into 7 different subspecies. Molecular studies have shown that among these, it's most similar to the other Philippine drongos - the Short-tailed drongo and the Balicassiao. Two subspecies are recognized: D. p.palawanensis Tweeddale, A, 1878 – Found on Palawan, Busuanga, Culion, Balabac Island and Cagayancillo
