Barred Long-tailed Cuckoo (Cercococcyx montanus)

This is the other subspecies of Barred Long-tailed Cuckoo (Cercococcyx montanus), the migratory race patulus. There are still few records of this subspecies from the Albertine Rift; they probably migrate there from their breeding range in the highlands of Tanzania, but because of how difficult they are to find and identify, little is known about this migratory pattern.
