The white-bellied go-away-bird (Crinifer leucogaster) is a bird of eastern Africa in the family Musophagidae, commonly known as turacos.

There is an ongoing discussion over generic-level classification: C. leucogaster is often referred to as being in the genus Corythaixoides or Criniferoides.

[5] Most earlier taxonomic treatments place it within Corythaixoide, however many concluded that it required the genus, Crinifer.

[8] Its long, pointed grey and black tail with a white median band is characteristic of the species.

Go-away birds are limited to their local ranges due to water availability, but the species occurs across a vast area in and around the Horn of Africa.

The white-bellied go-away-bird is sedentary in its range, wandering locally when searching for water and food sources.

As a result of these feeding habits the White-bellied Go-away-bird is considered a pest in some regions, raiding orchards and plantations of fruiting trees and vegetable crops.

This is because the population is not believed to be below 10,000 mature individuals and the bird has a wide distribution of over 3 million km2, meaning it does not meet vulnerability criteria.
