The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The black-faced cuckooshrike is a medium-sized grey bird with a black mask around the bill and eyes. It is common in the open woodlands and parks of Australia. Its most characteristic feature is a movement it performs on landing: it resettles its wings with a couple of quick shuffles, a gesture that identifies it at a distance.
