The strange skull of the violet turaco (genus: Macrophaga violate)
Musophaga violacea (Isert 1788; 48 cm long) is the extant violet turaco, originally considered a near-passerine. Here it nests with the trumpeter (genus: Psophia, Fig. 2). In Musophaga the legs and sternum are shorter. The pelvis is deeper and the tail is more robust.
