Eurocephalus is a small genus of passerine birds in the shrike family. Just two species are placed in this genus. \n* Northern white-crowned shrike or white-rumped shrike, Eurocephalus ruppelli \n* Southern white-crowned shrike or white-crowned shrike, Eurocephalus anguitimens These are large brown and white shrikes found in sub-Saharan Africa. They are gregarious species, unlike the Lanius shrikes, and have a parrot-like flight. The male and female are similar in plumage in both species but are distinguishable from immature birds.
