The Sunda crow (Corvus enca), formerly known as the slender-billed crow, is a passerine bird of the family Corvidae, in the genus Corvus. It is found from Malaysia to Borneo. The violet crow has been shown to be distinct genetically and separated as Corvus violaceus. [3]

The Palawan crow (Corvus pusillus) is a Passerine bird of the family Corvidae, in the genus Corvus.It was previously considered a subspecies of the slender-billed crow, but phylogenetic evidence indicates that both are distinct species, and it has thus been split by the International Ornithologists' Union.
He considered the specimen to be a subspecies of the Sunda crow and coined the trinomial name Corvus enca celebensis. [1] [2] It is now separated as a distinct species based on vocal and genetic differences. With the split the name of Corvus enca was changed from "slender-billed crow" to "Sunda crow". [3] [4] Two subspecies are recognised: [3]
They considered the specimen to be a subspecies of the Slender-billed crow (now Sunda crow) and coined the trinomial name Corvus enca sierramadrensis. [2] It was then formerly treated as a subspecies of the Samar crow ( Corvus samarensis ) but is now separated as a distinct species based on vocal and morphological differences.
The robust crow or slender-billed crow (Corvus viriosus) was a species of large, raven-sized crow that was endemic to the islands of Oahu and Molokai in the Hawaiian Islands during the Holocene. C. viriosus was frugivorous and was adapted for this with a long, slender bill.
The slender-billed curlew (Numenius tenuirostris) is an extinct species of curlew native to Eurasia and North Africa.
