The white-crowned cuckoo or white-crowned koel (Cacomantis leucolophus) is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. It was formerly placed in the monotypic genus Caliechthrus[citation needed] but it has a similar song to cuckoos of the genus Cacomantis and is genetically similar to the pallid cuckoo (Cacomantis pallidus), so most taxonomists place it there.[1] It is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, occurring on New Guinea and neighbouring Salawati Island.
