Raffles's malkoha is a cuckoo found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, and was once found in Singapore. It was formerly often placed in Phaenicophaeus with the other malkohas, but it appears not to be very closely related to the true malkohas. It shows sexual dimorphism, which its presumed relatives all lack (Wikipedia, general species account).
