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]
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]
Corvus typicus (Bonaparte, 1853) – piping crow or Celebes pied crow (Sulawesi and Muna, Indonesia) Corvus unicolor (Rothschild & Hartert, EJO, 1900) – Banggai crow (Banggai Island, Indonesia) Corvus enca (Horsfield, 1821) – Sunda crow, formerly slender-billed crow (Malaysia, the Philippines, Borneo, Indonesia)
The large-billed crow (Corvus macrorhynchos), formerly referred to widely as the jungle crow, is a widespread Asian species of crow.It is very adaptable and is able to survive on a wide range of food sources, making it capable of colonizing new areas, due to which it is often considered a nuisance, especially on islands.

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.
They are as follows: (a) The Philippines versions of the slender-billed crow, Corvus enca, are defined as two new species, small crow, Corvus samarensis, found in the main Philippines islands, and Palawan crow, Corvus pusillus, found on Palawan.
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.
