Clade of birds
Otidimorphae is a clade of birds that contains the orders Cuculiformes (cuckoos), Musophagiformes (turacos), and Otidiformes (bustards) identified in 2014 by genome analysis.[ 2] Musophagotides , defining it in the PhyloCode Otis tarda Musophaga violacea Grus grus Mesitornis variegatus [ 3]
While the bustards seem to be related to the turacos, other genetic studies have found the cuckoos to be closer to the bustards than the turacos are.[ 4] [ 5]
