The white-legged duiker, Cephalophorus ogilbyi crusalbum, is a medium-sized antelope from the duiker tribe Cephalophini within the family of bovids. It is native to Gabon and the Republic of the Congo. It was described as a subspecies of Ogilby's duiker by Peter Grubb in 1978. After a revision of the ungulates in 2011 by Colin Groves, some taxonomists regard it as a distinct species, while others, like the IUCN, maintain it as a subspecies of Ogilby's duiker. The Wikipedia list of bovids counts it as a species.
