Why it matters
The black-backed puffback is named for the unique, loose-feathered patches on its lower back, which the males fluff up during courtship displays to reveal striking white plumage. This bushshrike is widely distributed across southern and eastern Africa, where it is frequently observed foraging in the canopy for insects alongside mixed-species bird flocks.
