broadbill
The broadbills are a clade of small passerine birds, Eurylaimidae (named after the type genus ''Eurylaimus''). The ''Smithornis'' and ''Pseudocalyptomena'' species occur in sub-Saharan Africa; the rest extend from the eastern Himalayas to Indonesia and the Philippines.
The family possibly also includes the sapayoa from the Neotropics and the asities from Madagascar, although many taxonomists now separate each of the three into distinct families.
==Description==
Many of the broadbills are brightly coloured birds that present broad heads, large eyes and a hooked, flat and broad beak. They range from 13 to 28 centimetres in length, and live in the dense canopies of wet forests, allowing them to hide despite their brightly coloured plumage. The plumage of the juveniles eurylaimids are similar to those of the adults, differing in being duller and shorter-winged and shorter-tailed in some cases.
