Angola cave chat

Cossypha ansorgei The Angola cave chat (Xenocopsychus ansorgei) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae.

It is the sole member of the monotypic genus Xenocopsychus; although it was placed in Cossypha between 2010 and 2022 based on the results of a 2010 molecular phylogenetic study, this placement was found to be an error.

[2][3][4] It occurs locally from western Angola to marginally south of the Kunene River in northern Namibia.

Its natural habitat is rocky places in moist to dry savanna.
