Taxonomy

A monotypic species.

Lophotis vs. Eupodotis

Some authorities (Howard & Moore, 2003) place Savile's Bustard (savilei), Buff-crested Bustard (gindiana), and Red-crested Bustard (ruficrista) in the genus Lophotis. However, Clements (2007) and Sibley & Monroe (1996) place these three taxa in Eupodotis, and the Opus follows.
