The
Archer's buzzard (
Buteo archeri) is a 50–55 cm long
African bird of prey. The taxonomy on this species is confusing, with some taxonomists considering this species, the
jackal buzzard, and the
augur buzzard to be the same
superspecies. Many taxonomists consider them all to be distinct, having different calls, different home ranges and slight variations in plumage. This is a species of mountains, and adjacent savanna and grassland. It is resident and
non-migratory throughout its range. It is an endemic bird species in northern
Somalia.
