Taxonomy
The Slender-billed Oriole was considered to be conspecific but is now widely accepted as full species, including the subspecies invisus from southern Vietnam, formerly placed in Black-naped Oriole. Many Black-naped Oriole subspecies probably deserve full species status since there are 9 deeply (genetically) divergent lineages [3].
Subspecies
Up to 20 subspecies are accepted [1]:
- O. c. diffusus: Eastern Asia; winters to India, Malaysia and Indochina
- O. c. andamanensis: Andaman Islands
- O. c. macrourus: Nicobar Islands
- O. c. chinensis: Philippine Islands
- O. c. suluensis: Sulu Archipelago
- O. c. melanisticus: Talaud Islands (Karakelong and Salebabu)
- O. c. sanghirensis: Sangihe and Tabuken islands (off northern Sulawesi)
- O. c. formosus: Siau, Tahulandang, Ruang, Biaro and Mayu island (off Sulawesi)
- O. c. celebensis: Sulawesi, Bangka, Talisei, Lembeh, Togian Islands, Muna, Butung
- O. c. frontalis: Banggai and Sula islands (off Sulawesi)
- O. c. oscillans: Tukangbesi Islands (off Sulawesi)
- O. c. boneratensis: Tanahjampea, Bonerate, Lalaotoa, Madu and Kayuadi islands
- O. c. mundus: Simeulue Island (off Sumatra)
- O. c. sipora: Sipura Island (off Sumatra)
- O. c. richmondi: Siberut and Pagi islands (off Sumatra)
- O. c. insularis: Kangean Islands (Java Sea)
- O. c. broderipii: Lesser Sundas (Lombok, Sumba, Sumbawa, Flores, Bisar, Alor)
- O. c. maculatus Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Bali, Belitung and Nias islands
Habitat
Coastal woodlands and mangroves, farmland, parks and gardens, to 1600m.
Behaviour
Diet
Omnivorous, figs form a large part of their diet, along with fruit and berries. They also eat large insects, small animals and nestlings.
Breeding
A cup-shaped nest is made from bark, small twigs, grass and roots. The clutch consists of two to three bluish-white eggs with brown spots which are incubated for about 14 days.
