Somali Crow
Corvus edithae Lort Phillips, 1895
Corvidae — Crows, Jays
Somali Crow, Corvus edithae, is a crow of the Horn of Africa, breeding from eastern Eritrea and northern Kenya through Ethiopia to Somalia. It was described by Lort Phillips in 1895 and belongs to the family Corvidae. It is about the size of the carrion crow, but has a longer bill and a slightly browner look to the plumage, especially when the feathers are worn. It was once treated as part of the brown-necked raven, but is now recognised as a separate species.
