Laniarius major (Tropical Boubou)

Synonyms: Laniarius aethiopicus major (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The tropical boubou or bell shrike (Laniarius major) is a medium-sized passerine bird of sub-Saharan Africa. This very diverse "species" with its numerous subspecies and morphs has since long posed a taxonomic problem, and recent research suggests it is a cryptic species complex that has now been split into several species.
