Yellow-billed Kite (Milvus aegyptius)

The Yellow-billed Kite is the Sub-Saharan and North-east African counterpart of the Black Kite (Milvus migrans), of which it is most often considered a subspecies. However, recent DNA studies suggest that the Yellow-billed Kite differs significantly from Black Kites of Europe, and should be considered as a separate species.
