Red-backed Mousebird
Colius castanotus Verreaux, JP; Verreaux, JBÉ 1855
The red-backed mousebird is a species of bird in the Coliidae family. It is found in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The name mousebird is based on bird's soft feathers with texture similar to a mouse's fur. The red-backed mousebird got its name from the red or chestnut color patch on its back. Source: Wikipedia
