Pied Bushchat

Description:

The Pied Bushchat has a dumpy structure and upright stance. The male is black except for a white rump, wing patch and lower belly. The iris is dark brown, the bill and legs black. The female is drab brown and slightly streaked. Juveniles have a scaly appearance on the underside but dark above like the females. A study suggests that males use dawn chorus to mediate social relationships with neighbouring males to proclaim an established territory. This species is insectivorous, and like other chats hunts from a prominent low perch. They have been noted to feed on Pyralid moths and whitefly - wikipedia.org
