The eastern forest robin (Stiphrornis erythrothorax xanthogaster) is a subspecies of the forest robin found at low levels in forests from Cameroon and Gabon to DR Congo and Uganda.[1] In 1999 it was recommended that it should be treated as a separate species instead of a subspecies.[2] IUCN and some other authorities do not recognize the split, and consequently it has not been rated as species separate from S. erythrothorax.[3] However, it has been described as frequent to locally abundant,[1] and is therefore unlikely to qualify for a threatened category.
