Yellow-billed Turaco

Tauraco macrorhynchus (Fraser, 1839)

Musophagidae — Turacos

Yellow-billed Turaco, Tauraco macrorhynchus, is a bird of western and west-central Africa in the Musophagidae family. Its range is split by the drier Dahomey Gap, leaving two separate forms on either side. One occurs from Sierra Leone to Ghana, while the other runs from Nigeria through the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Angola. The two subspecies differ in appearance, and there has been a proposal to treat them as separate species. The bird was described by Fraser in 1839.
