White-bellied Robin-Chat

Cossypha heinrichi

The White-bellied Robin-Chat (Cossypha heinrichi) is a small passerine bird found in the montane forests of Tanzania. It is characterized by its distinctive white belly and bright orange breast, with a slate-grey back and wings. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the dense undergrowth of its forest habitat. The White-bellied Robin-Chat is an insectivorous species, foraging on the forest floor and in the lower vegetation for insects and small invertebrates. While its population size is currently unknown, it faces threats from habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and human encroachment.
