The capuchin babbler (Turdoides atripennis) is a species of bird in the family Leiothrichidae. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. It has a disjunct range across the western and northern parts of the African tropical rainforest.
The capuchin babbler was moved from the monotypic genus Phyllanthus to Turdoides based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018. Collar, N. J. & Robson, C. 2007.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Capuchin Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (36 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
