'''Otidimorphae''' is a clade of birds that contains the orders Cuculiformes (cuckoos, and roadrunners), Musophagiformes (turacos), and Otidiformes (bustards) identified in 2014 by genome analysis.<ref name=Jarvis2014>{{cite journal | last1 = Jarvis | first1 = E.D. | display-authors = etal | year = 2014 | title = Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds | journal = Science | volume = 346 | issue = 6215| pages = 1320–1331 | doi=10.1126/science.1253451 | pmid=25504713 | pmc=4405904| bibcode = 2014Sci...346.1320J }}</ref> George Sangster and colleagues in 2022 named the clade uniting turacos and bustards as '''Musophagotides''', defining it in the ''PhyloCode'' as "the least inclusive crown clade containing ''Otis tarda'' and ''Musophaga violacea'', but not ''Grus grus'' or ''Mesitornis variegatus''".<ref>{{Cite journal | last1=Sangster | first1=G. | last2=Braun | first2=E.L. | last3=Johansson | first3=U.S. | last4=Kimball | first4=R.T. | last5=Mayr | first5=G. | last6=Suh | first6=A. | date=2022 | title=Phylogenetic definitions for 25 higher-level clade names of birds | journal=Avian Research | volume=13 | article-number=100027 | doi=10.1016/j.avrs.2022.100027 | doi-access=free | bibcode=2022AvRes..1300027S }}</ref>

While the bustards seem to be related to the turacos, other genetic studies have found the cuckoos to be closer to the bustards than the turacos are.<ref name=Ericson>{{cite journal|last1=Ericson|first1=P.
