Stiphrornis xanthogaster [incl. mabirae] (Sangha Forest-Robin [incl. xanthogaster])

Sangha Forest-Robin [incl. xanthogaster]

Stiphrornis xanthogaster [incl. mabirae] (= Stiphrornis xanthogaster) Sharpe, RB 1903

The eastern forest robin is a subspecies of the forest robin found at low levels in forests from Cameroon and Gabon to DR Congo and Uganda. In 1999 it was recommended that it should be treated as a separate species instead of a subspecies. IUCN and some other authorities do not recognize the split, and consequently it has not been rated as species separate from S. erythrothorax. However, it has been described as frequent to locally abundant, and is therefore unlikely to qualify for a threatened category. Source: Wikipedia
