A chough ( ) is any of two species of passerine birds that constitute the genus Pyrrhocorax of the Corvidae (crow) family. These are the red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) and the Alpine chough (or yellow-billed chough) (Pyrrhocorax graculus). The white-winged chough of Australia, despite its name, is a member of the family Corcoracidae and only distantly related.
