Lissotis hartlaubii

Identification

Thick black post-ocular line, another thick black line from the eye down to the throat and definite white spot in between.

Similar to Black-bellied Bustard. Hartlaub should show nice white spikes on upperparts (white margins) combined with reduced dark centers. Tertials are hardly visible (barred in Black-bellied, uniform in Hartlaub)

Distribution

Eastern Sudan to Ethiopia, Somalia, northeastern Uganda and northern Tanzania.

Taxonomy

This is a monotypic species[1].

Eupodotis vs. Lissotis

Some authorities (Sibley & Monroe, 1996) lump the genus Lissotis within Eupodotis. however there now seems to be a consensus for using Lissotis..
