Baeopogon

Baeopogon is a genus of passerine birds in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae.

Taxonomy

The genus Baeopogon was introduced in 1860 by the German ornithologist Ferdinand Heine with the honeyguide greenbul as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek baios () meaning "small" or "little" with pōgōn meaning "beard".

The genus contains two species:

• Honeyguide greenbul (Baeopogon indicator)
• Sjöstedt's greenbul (Baeopogon clamans)
