White-tailed Robin

Copsychus albiventris

The White-tailed Robin (Copsychus albiventris) is a small passerine bird native to Africa. It is characterized by its distinctive white tail and black plumage with a white belly. This species is known for its melodious song and is often found in dense undergrowth and forest edges. The White-tailed Robin is an insectivore, foraging on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. Its breeding season typically occurs during the rainy season, and it constructs cup-shaped nests in low vegetation. While not currently classified as threatened, habitat loss and degradation pose potential risks to its populations.
