Observation

Species: Many-coloured Bush-shrike (Chlorophoneus multicolor) info
Number:
Breeding:
Remarks: �one bird emitting a flute-like call similar to that of Grey-headed Bush-shrike M. blanchoti, with a very soft response from an invisible bird.� Later seen often and close up (PS, pers. comm. to JB 27 January 1994). The description of the call is correct and quite different from the call of Sulphur-breasted Bush-shrike M. sulfureopectus., which Many-coloured Bush-shrike most closely resembles in plumage. In plumage Many-coloured Bush-shrike, seen close up by PS, is quite distinct from Grey-headed Bush-shrike, with which PS was also quite familiar. Both Many-coloured and Grey-headed are illustrated in colour in Serle et al. (1977).
