Batis occulta

The Chinspot Batis is a small passerine bird found in southern Africa. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with a black crown and throat, white underparts, and a broad black breast band. This species is often found in woodland and savanna habitats, where it forages for insects by gleaning from foliage and branches. The Chinspot Batis is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. While not currently classified by the IUCN, it is generally considered to be of least concern due to its relatively stable population and widespread distribution.
