The scale-feathered malkoha (Dasylophus cumingi) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is a spectacular looking bird with its white hood, red eyes and yellowish bill with a line of scaled feathers down from the bill and up over the crown, contrasted with rufous neck and back and a black lower body and tail.
