Systematik: Gattung Stiphrornis (Stiphrornis); Familie Drosseln (Turdidae)
Allgemein: The western forest robin (Stiphrornis erythrothorax erythrothorax) is a subspecies of the forest robin found at low levels in West African forests from Sierra Leone to Nigeria.^[1] It has been placed in the family Turdidae, but is now generally placed in Muscicapidae. It commonly includes the other members in the genus Stiphrornis as subspecies, in which case the common name for the "combined species" simply is forest robin. The western forest robin can be separate from the other members of the genus by the combination of its deep orange throat and breast, white belly, and olive upperparts.^[1] It also appears to differ vocally from the other members in the genus, but a comprehensive study on this is lacking.^[2] When considered conspecific with the other members from its genus, S. erythrothorax is considered to be of least concern by IUCN.^[3] While not rated following the split into several species, it has been described as frequent to locally abundant,^[1] and is therefore unlikely to qualify for a threatened category.
