C. piscator C. zonorus C. personatus C. concolor C. leucogaster Crinifer is a genus of birds in the turaco family.

They are large, noisy, and conspicuous birds, but lack the brilliant colours of their relatives.

Unlike many of the brighter forest dwelling turacos these are birds of African open country and have drab grey and white plumage.

In Southern Africa, these birds are known as kwêvoëls, though they are also called loeries along with the other turacos.

[2] The genus was erected by the Polish zoologist Feliks Paweł Jarocki in 1821 with the western plantain-eater (Crinifer piscator) as the type species.
