This page is for the White-rumped Shama (Copsychus malabaricus). We saw this species a few times while on our hike in the Koko Crater Botanical Garden. Both times it was under pretty heavy cover so the light was not great. The first was so back-lit that the photographs were unusable. The second time, this guy posed for us for several minutes before flying away.
