White-cheeked Turaco
Tauraco leucotis
White-cheeked Turaco adults of both sexes have predominantly green heads, necks, and breasts, contrasting with darker, blue-toned upperparts and tails. The body feathers are largely unmarked, while the wings conceal crimson flight feathers that become conspicuous when spread; the long tail is dark blue-green. A prominent white cheek patch beneath and behind each eye provides a defining facial marking, distinct from the red bare skin surrounding the eye.
