The black boubou (Laniarius nigerrimus), also known as Somali boubou, Erlanger's boubou or coastal boubou,[2] is a medium-size bushshrike. It was split from the tropical boubou as a result of DNA sequence analysis,[3] and this change in status was recognized by the International Ornithological Committee in 2008.[4] Two colour morphs are recognized, a predominantly black one, the black boubou, and an extremely rare black and yellow morph which was formerly considered a separate species, the Bulo Burti boubou (Laniarius liberatus). The black boubou is found in Somalia and northern Kenya.
