Andaman shama

The Andaman shama (Copsychus albiventris) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is endemic to the Andaman Islands. It is considered a restricted-range species because it occurs only within this island group. It was previously considered a subspecies of the white-rumped shama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Although precise global population estimates are not available, the species is reported to be common within its limited range. The Andaman Shama inhabits forested and semi-open habitats across several islands in the Andaman archipelago and is considered non-migratory.
