ROBIN-CHAT
The 'robin-chats' are small insectivorous birds in the genera ''Cossyphicula'' and ''Cossypha ''. They were formerly in the thrush family Turdidae, but are more often now treated as part of the Old World flycatcher Muscicapidae. Another species, the White-bellied Robin-chat, is also known as a robin-chat but is found in the monotypic genus ''Cossyphicula''.
These are African woodland dwelling species, but some have become adapted to sites around human habitation.
