Fruit-hunter, Black-breasted fruit-hunter
The fruithunter or fruit-hunter (Chlamydochaera jefferyi ), also known as the black-breasted fruit-hunter, is an enigmatic species of bird currently placed with the typical thrushes in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to forests on the south-east Asian island of Borneo.
It is highly distinct from other thrushes, instead being convergent to Corvoidea such as trillers (Lalage ) or true orioles (Oriolus ). Thus it is placed in a monotypic genus Chlamydochaera.
The fruithunter is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
