The morningbird was previously placed in the genus Colluricincla until 2013, when it was transferred to Pachycephala.[2][a] Some authorities have placed the morningbird in the genus Pitohui and it is sometimes placed in its own monotypic genus, Malacolestes. Alternate names for the morningbird include the brown pitohui, morning pitohui, morning whistler, Palau morningbird and Palau pitohui.
Morningbirds feed principally on insects, but also take snails, berries, fruit and seeds. They feed on or around the ground.
Notesedit
^The sooty shrikethrush, currently Colluricincla tenebrosa, was formerly known as Colluricincla umbrina (Reichenow, 1915) when the morningbird was in Colluricincla, as the name Rectes tenebrosus Hartlaub & Finsch, 1868 (the morningbird) has priority over Pachycephala tenebrosa Rothschild, 1911 (the sooty shrikethrush) when the two species are placed in the same genus; with the transfer of the morningbird from the genus Colluricincla to Pachycephala in 2013, the sooty shrikethrush reverted from umbrina to the older name tenebrosa.
