In some ways, the appearance of this bird is indeed similar to a stone magpie. The main difference lies in the yellow tail feathers. That's why this bird is called yellow tail kucica. In foreign countries, in addition to having the official name of rufous tailed-shama, there are also those who call it orange-tailed shama. Kicaumania in Malaysia calls it an orange tailed magpie.
Yes, kucica yellow tail is not actually an endemic bird in Aceh. Birds that have no subspecies / races have spatial areas ranging from Southern Thailand, the western region of Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra and Kalimantan (including Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak).
If the Aceh Provincial Government makes the yellow tail kucica as an identity fauna, it is a historical background of the past that must be appreciated. This bird seems to be a favorite of the people of Aceh since the reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636). Even cempala kuneng aka kucica yellow tail is often mentioned in the saga of Aceh.
