The Madagascan hoopoe (Upupa marginata) is a species of hoopoe in the family Upupidae. It was previously considered a subspecies (Upupa epops marginata) of the hoopoe, but was split due to its vocalisations and small differences in plumage.
It is endemic to Madagascar.[1] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
