Endemic to the forests of Sumatra
The Sumatran ground cuckoo is a large, terrestrial cuckoo endemic to the forests of Sumatra. It was first described in 1879 and, although identified as a separate species in the 1880s, was formerly considered conspecific with the Bornean ground cuckoo until recently being returned to species status (Wikipedia, general species account).
