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] 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.
