Grey Crowned-Crane
There are two subspecies. The East African B. r. gibbericeps occurs from eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo through Uganda, of which it is the national bird, and Kenya to eastern South Africa. It has a larger area of bare red facial skin above the white patch than the smaller nominate species, B. r. regulorum , which breeds from Angola south to South Africa.
