Smithornis is a genus of birds in the family Eurylaimidae, the broadbills. The genus comprises three species native to Africa. Before 1914 this genus was classified in the Old World flycatcher family, Muscicapidae, due to certain similarities. Closer examination of the morphology and anatomical features of these birds resulted in their being reclassified in the Eurylaimidae. Species: \n* African broadbill (Smithornis capensis) \n* Rufous-sided broadbill (Smithornis rufolateralis) \n* Grey-headed broadbill (Smithornis sharpei)
