About
The Sunda crow (Corvus enca) is a passerine bird of the family Corvidae that is found in South-East Asia, from Malaysia to Borneo. The Sunda crow is part of the Corvus enca species complex, which was formerly treated as a single species and known as the slender-billed crow. The complex is now treated as five species, after four subspecies were split off as distinct species: the Samar crow or small crow (Corvus samarensis), the Palawan crow (Corvus pusillus), the Sulawesi crow (Corvus celebensis) and the Sierra Madre crow (Corvus sierramadrensis).
