 Yellow-billed kite

The yellow-billed kite ("Milvus aegyptius") is the Afrotropic 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 in the Eurasian clade, and should be considered as a separate, allopatric species.
