The Bluntschli's Vanga (Hypositta perdita), also known as the Short-toed Nuthatch-vanga, is a species of bird in the Vangidae family. It is endemic to Madagascar. It is only known from two juvenile specimens collected in 1931. Consequently, its taxonomic validity has been questioned, although the possibility that the two specimens actually are juvenile Nuthatch Vangas has been considered improbable.
