Fruithunter Chlamydochaera jefferyi
It is native to the Borneo montane rain forests. It is highly distinct from other thrushes, instead being convergent to Corvoidea such as trillers (Lalage) or true orioles (Oriolus). The female fruithunter broods and incubates the two eggs that are laid, and the male assists in feeding the nestlings.
