Chough

Chough

Two species of chough ( /ˈtʃʌf/) constitute the genus Pyrrhocorax of the Corvidae (crow) family of birds. These are the Red-billed Chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax), and the Alpine or Yellow-billed Chough (P. graculus). Their closest relatives outside the genus appear to be the jackdaws of the genus Corvus. The White-winged Chough of Australia, despite its name, is a member of the family Corcoracidae and only distantly related.
