Mountain Robin-Chat
Cossyphicula isabellae (Gray, GR, 1862)
Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers
Mountain Robin-Chat, Cossyphicula isabellae, is a bird of the Western High Plateau in Africa, where it breeds in the west-central part of the continent. It belongs to the family Muscicapidae. Its natural home is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. A molecular study published in 2023 showed it to be closest to the white-bellied robin-chat, and on that basis it was transferred from Cossypha to Cossyphicula.
