FLUFFTAIL (Sarothrura)

Curtis, D. 2011. “White-spotted Flufftail 111113 Sarothrura pulchra” Kakamega, Kenya

Buff-spotted flufftail, red-chested flufftail, Madagascan flufftail, striped flufftail, white-spotted flufftail, chestnut-headed flufftail, white-winged flufftail, slender-billed flufftail and streaky-breasted flufftail. That’s a lot of fluffy tails. The name flufftail literally refers to their stubby rectrices (tail feathers) and puffy undertail coverts.
