Orange minivet 
(Phường chèo đỏ lớn, Pericrocotus flammeus)

The orange minivet (Pericrocotus flammeus) is a brightly colored bird in the cuckooshrike family, Campephagidae.
This bird species is similar to and used to be considered a subspecies of the scarlet minivet (Pericrocotus speciosus),
more work is to be done related to the split of these two species though.

Traits:
- Male: fiery orange color underpart or underside, black mantle and black hood;
- Female: saffron yellow underpart, ashy nape and mantle; 

Campephagidae: New Latin, from Campephaga, type genus (from Greek kampē caterpillar + New Latin -phaga) + -idae; 'Phago' is a term used as a prefix in Latin meaning 'Eating' or 'swallowing'. Phago ultimately comes from the Greek phageîn, which means “to eat, devour.”
The genus name comes from Ancient Greek peri - 'very', and krokotus 'saffron-coloured'.
The species name flammeus has its roots in Latin, meaning 'fiery' or 'flame-coloured' (flamma - 'flame').
