White-headed Robin-Chat
Cossypha heinrichi Rand, 1955
Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers
White-headed Robin-Chat, Cossypha heinrichi, is a bird of western Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola in the family Muscicapidae. It was described by Rand in 1955. In Angola it has been recorded in gallery forest undergrowth and sometimes in savanna, while in the Congo it occurs in scattered pockets of dense forest. Its most striking feature is the wholly white head, which sets it apart from other African robins. The species is known from only a few localities, including the type area north of Calandula and sites near Bombo-Lumene Forest Reserve.
