White-necked Rockfowl

Picathartes gymnocephalus

Vulnerable

The White-necked Rockfowl is a large West African forest bird that nests in mud cups on cliffs and rocks in Upper Guinea forests. It is generally resident, using local habitat year-round while shifting within its range as food and cover change. Fun fact: this batch connects several unusual songbird lineages, from cliff-nesting rockfowl to wetland donacobius and oxpeckers that forage on large mammals.
