F
starts withFülleborn's boubou is a medium-sized boubou, growing to a length of 18 to 20 cm (7 to 8 in). The sexes are similar and the adult plumage is a bluish slate-grey with a blacker head, wings and tail, all of which are slightly glossed. The underparts are dark slatey-grey and the underwing is dark brown. The eye is brown or reddish-brown and the beak and legs are black. The upper parts of the juvenile are a brownish-black colour, faintly spotted with buff, and lacking gloss. The underparts are barred with buffy greyish-black. The adult plumage is gained at six or seven weeks. This boubou only takes to the wing occasionally and has a ponderous flight.
Fülleborn's boubou has a very wide range and is described as being a common species. The population seems steady and no particular threats have been identified so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as a "least-concern species".
