It is monotypic within the genus Enodes, being the only species currently recognised.

A bright reddish-orange supercilium starts from the base of the beak and extends over the eye, the feathers behind the eye being black. The flight feathers are... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fiery-browed Myna sighting in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 133rd most-seen of the 138 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fiery-browed Myna in Tangkoko Nature Reserve on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Tangkoko Nature Reserve, in our data
Tangkoko Nature Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fiery-browed Myna sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fiery-browed Myna is recorded against all the birds logged in Tangkoko Nature Reserve (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
