The white-winged chough is one of only two surviving members of the Australian mud-nest builders family, Corcoracidae, and is the only member of the genus "Corcorax". It is native to southern and eastern Australia and is an example of convergent evolution as it is only distantly related to the European choughs that it closely resembles in shape, and for which it was named.
