Chrysococcyx klaas

Resident in equatorial areas. Seasonal migrant at higher latitudes, arriving in rains, leaving after end of rains, although some remain in non-breeding season, when silent. In N Senegal occurs only in rainy season, in Ghana mainly a wet-season visitor, in N Togo in rains, and in S Togo throughout the year. Occasional records in SW Arabia, where possibly breeds.
