The chestnut-breasted malkoha (''Phaenicophaeus curvirostris'') is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. Found in Southeast Asia from Myanmar through to eastern Java, the Philippines and Borneo, it is a large cuckoo measuring up to with grey and dark green upperparts and chestnut underparts, and a large curved pale upper mandible. The male and female are similar in plumage. Unlike many cuckoos, it builds its nest and raises its own young.〔Payne, p. 297〕 ==Taxonomy== The chestnut-breasted malkoha was first described from a specimen collected in western Java by English naturalist George Shaw in 1810 as ''Cuculus curvirostris'', before the genus ''Phaenicophaeus'' was erected by English naturalist James Francis Stephens in 1815. Its specific epithet is derived from the Latin words ''curvus'' "curved", and ''rostrum'' "beak". The genus name is derived from the ancient Greek ''phoiniko-'' "crimson", and ''phaes'' "eyes" or "face", referring to the red-faced malkoha. However, the 'œ' was transcribed incorrectly as 'æ'.
