Visayan Hornbill
Penelopides panini (Boddaert, 1783)
Bucerotidae — Hornbills
Visayan Hornbill, Penelopides panini, is a hornbill of the West Visayas in the western Philippines, with breeding range in Panay and Negros. It was described by Boddaert in 1783 and belongs to the hornbill family. It is linked to tropical moist lowland forest and rainforest canopy, where it is hard to spot among thick cover. The species is set apart from other Philippine tarictic hornbills by its black tail with a broad white band. Two subspecies are recognised, including the nominate form and the Ticao Island race, which is likely extinct.
