Note on Vietnamese naming: With the exception of ducks and chickens, it is common for Vietnamese bird names to be preceded by the word Chim meaning 'bird', although it is normally omitted in Vietnamese bird lists. All bird names, whether they include chim or not, can be preceded by the classifier con, which is used for living creatures.
The genus Pachycephala is native to Oceania and Southeast Asia. The only member found in Vietnam, the Mangrove Whistler is called the Chim Bách thanh lưng nâu 'brown-backed shrike (bird)' in Vietnamese.
