A dark starling with rufous primary patches on its wings, similar to other Onychognathus, but with a more restricted range in West Africa.
Where to spot

How to spot
Look for a dark starling with rufous wing patches (visible in flight). Its specific West African range helps distinguish it from other similar Onychognathus species.
