The Philippine jungle crow (Corvus philippinus) is a species of crow endemic to the Philippines.
The Philippine jungle crow was formally described in 1853 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte under the current binomial name Corvus philippinus. [1] [2] It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the large-billed crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) but is now separated as a distinct species based on the vocal and genetic differences. [3] [4] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised. [3]

The large-billed crow, formerly referred to widely as the jungle crow, is a widespread Asian species of crow. It is very adaptable and is able to survive on a wide range of food sources, making it capable of colonizing new areas, due to which it is often considered a nuisance, especially on islands. It has a large bill, which is the source of its scientific name macrorhynchos and it is sometimes known by the common name thick-billed crow. It can also be mistaken for a common raven. The eastern jungle crow and Indian jungle crow were once considered conspecific and together called the jungle crow.
