Although not as vibrant as the male, the female olive-backed forest robin still exhibits a bright orange and yellow throat and the white dot in front of each eye that is distinctive to this species in this photo taken in September 2003. A red-breasted bird discovered by accident in the forests of Gabon is a new species, U.S. scientists said on August 15, 2008.
