After a closer look I think Buckeye 1 is correct.

Can't think what I was on about. Both of them do look the same - and might be Schalow's turaco - or Livingstone's. Pass.

Pretty sure this is Tauraco persa persa the nominate form of Green or Guinea Turaco. Found in Ivory Coast , Ghana to Cameroon.
Rather than T p buffoni from Senagambia.

The subtle difference is the amount of white around the eye. In front and below in persa persa and reduced to just in front in buffoni.
