The honeyguide greenbul (Baeopogon indicator) is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is widespread throughout the African tropical rainforest. The honeyguide greenbul was originally described in the genus Criniger and was later re-classified to the genus Baeopogon. Alternate names for the honeyguide greenbul include the honeyguide bulbul and white-tailed greenbul. The latter name is also used as an alternate name by Sjöstedt's greenbul and the swamp palm bulbul.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Honeyguide Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakum National Park (168 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
