Kakamega greenbul (Arizelocichla kakamegae), is a species of the bulbul family of passerinebirds. It is found in east-central Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The Kakamega greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda), then classified in Andropadus and, in 2010 re-classified to the new genus Arizelocichla.[1] Also, some authorities consider the Kakamega greenbul to be a subspecies of Shelley's greenbul.
