The greater honeyguide (Indicator indicator) is a bird in the family Indicatoridae, paleotropical near passerine birds related to the woodpeckers. Its English and scientific names refer to its habit of guiding people to bee colonies. Claims that it also guides non-human animals are disputed. The greater honeyguide is a resident breeder in sub-Saharan Africa. Like all African honeyguides, it has bold white patches on the sides of the tail. Indicator indicator is found in a variety of habitats that have trees, especially dry open woodland, but not in the West African jungle.
