Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Muscicapidae > Melaenornis > Melaenornis annamarulaeMelaenornis annamarulae (Nimba Flycatcher)The Nimba flycatcher (Melaenornis annamarulae) is a small passerine bird of the genus Melaenornis in the flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is native to the West African countries of Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The species is highly dependent on closed-canopy primary forest containing large emergent trees. Its population is likely to be declining rapidly, in line with the massive destruction of lowland forest in the region, and it is therefore classified as vulnerable. |
