Experiences with species These Hornbills are similar to the Red-billed Hornbill and were only recently split. They have a dark, not pale eye, and normally have a much whiter cheek. The birds seen around the Etosha area appeared to be a hybrid of the two, having a darker cheek, but dark eye, although normal Red-billed's were seen as well. |
