Andaman Shama
Copsychus albiventris (Blyth, 1858)
Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers
Andaman Shama, Copsychus albiventris, is a bird of the Andaman Islands in the Oriental Region and belongs to the Muscicapidae family. It is confined to this island group and is found in forested and semi-open places across several islands in the archipelago. Its range is limited to the Andamans, which makes it a restricted-range species. It was once treated as a subspecies of the white-rumped shama. Its recorded habitats include subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It is regarded as common within its small range and is non-migratory.
