Johann Georg Wagler first described the species from a holotype obtained from Java in the year 1827.
The eastern jungle crow and Indian jungle crow were once considered conspecific and together called the jungle crow.

The thick-billed raven, a corvid from the Horn of Africa, shares with the common raven the distinction of being the largest bird in the corvid family, and indeed the largest of the passerines.

Its size is about the same as the largest subspecies of common raven but some common raven subspecies are rather smaller and, going on average weights, the thick-billed raven is likely the heaviest extant passerine.
