The greyish eagle-owl or vermiculated eagle-owl (Bubo cinerascens) is a rather large owl of the northern part of sub-Saharan Africa. It was previously regarded as the northern form of the spotted eagle-owl. It differs from the spotted eagle-owl by the dark circles around each eye, its dark (not yellow) eyes, and by its brownish facial disc. The greyish eagle-owl ranges throughout dry rocky deserts, open savannah, and lowland forests in the northern part of sub-Saharan Africa from Mauritania and Liberia east to Sudan and Somalia.
