The Buffon's subspecies of the Guinea Turaco is one of only two subspecies of Green Turaco with no white line below the eye.
The nominal Guinea Turaco, also confusingly called the Green Turaco, has a white line above and below the eye, as do several other Turacos.
It has a blue-black back end and red wing edges but no white on top of its crest. It is native to west-central Africa.
The red wing and the blue-black back and rump. "Buffon" does not refer to the bird's bouffant hairdo but to
the French naturalist Comte de Buffon.
