Cebu Bar-bellied Cuckooshrike (Coracina striata ssp. cebuensis)
The Bar-bellied Cuckooshrike includes 14 subspecies which occur from the mainland of Southeast-Asia to the Philippines.
***
The subspecies that once was restricted to the island of Cebu, Philippines, was described in 1896, originally as a distinct species.
The bird reached a size of about 30 cm, it was more or less completely grey in color.
The Cebu Bar-bellied Cuckooshrike has last been recorded in 1906, it disappeared sometimes after that date due to the almost complete deforestation of the island’s forests.
