The black-crowned barwing (Actinodura sodangorum) is a non-migratory bird from Indochina in the family Leiothrichidae (laughingthrushes and allies). The name Actinodura is derived from Greek words meaning "ray-like tail" (actinodes and ura) while sodangorum came from the Södang tribe (also known as Xo Dang) which lives in Ngoc Linh and other areas in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos where black-crowned barwings are distributed.
