What backs it

A Ghana cuckooshrike, unseen for 13 years, was spotted in June by researchers Paulo Ditzel and Stephanie Bartlett in Côte d'Ivoire's Taï National Park during bird surveys across four West African countries.

Worth noting

The bird's habitat in the Upper Guinean rainforest remains threatened by logging, agriculture, mining, and illegal hunting.
