Otidimorphae is a clade of birds that contains the orders Cuculiformes (cuckoos), Musophagiformes (turacos), and Otidiformes (bustards) identified in 2014 by genome analysis.[1] While the bustards seem to be related to the turacos, other genetic studies have found the cuckoos to be more related to bustards than either of them are to turacos.[2][3]
