The white-chested tinkerbird (Pogoniulus makawai) is a species of bird in the Lybiidae family (African barbets). It is endemic to the Zambezian Cryptosepalum dry forests of Zambia. It is only known from the single type specimen, collected in 1964.[1] Genetic evidence suggests that it is not a separate species, but instead is embedded within the yellow-rumped tinkerbird.
