Taxonomy and systematics
[edit]Bower's shrikethrush was originally described in 1885 by Edward Pierson Ramsay, curator of the Australian Museum in Sydney. The specific name boweri honors Thomas Henry Bowyer-Bower, curator of ornithology at the Western Australian Museum at the time. The genus name Colluricincla comes from the Greek kollurion ("a bird") and the Latin cinclus ("thrush").[2]
