Yellow-billed Kite (Milvus aegyptius)
About the Yellow-billed Kite
The yellow-billed kite (Milvus aegyptius) is the Afrotropical counterpart of the black kite (Milvus migrans), of which it is most often considered a subspecies. However, 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.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 31 recordings for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
