Braun's Bushshrike Laniarius brauni

A striking, mostly blackish bushshrike with a bright orange throat and breast, a chestnut crown and nape, and a white belly and wing-stripe. Pairs are scarce and skulky in the understory of secondary and gallery forest at only six localities near Uige along the Angolan escarpment, between 600 and 1260 meters of elevation. Vocalizations are variable, but quality is consistent: a haunting reverberating “whorrrrr,” a sweet musical “til-out, til-out,” and nasal twanging or grating rattles.
