Upupa epops [epops or senegalensis] (Eurasian Hoopoe [epops or senegalensis])

Eurasian Hoopoe [epops or senegalensis]

Upupa epops [epops or senegalensis] (= Upupa epops epops) Linnaeus, C 1758

The Eurasian hoopoe is the most widespread species of the genus Upupa, native to Europe, Asia and the northern half of Africa. Some taxonomists still consider all three species conspecific. Some authorities also keep the African and Eurasian hoopoe together, but split the Madagascar hoopoe. Source: Wikipedia
