This one from Africa. An international team of ornithologists found the western square-tailed drongo (Dicrurus occidentalis), a gray or black insect-eater whose range lies in Guinea and Nigeria.
Here's the formal paper. The new species was visibly unique in its bill and the distinction was confirmed by DNA. Specifically, by " possessing a significantly heavier bill and via substantial genetic divergence (6.7%) from its sister-species D. sharpei."
Congratulation and keep loosking, folks!
