Luzon Hornbill, Penelopides manillae, is a hornbill of the Luzon group in the northern Philippines, where it lives in tropical moist lowland forest and reaches up to 900 m. It was named by Boddaert in 1783 and belongs to the Bucerotidae. It is one of the tarictic hornbills and is set apart by its black tail with a broad white band. Two subspecies are recognised: one on Luzon and Catanduanes, and another on the Polillo Islands, where the latter has a broader white tail band.
