Jerdon’s Babbler Chrysomma altirostre has been rediscovered in Myanmar by a team from WCS, Myanmar’s Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division, and National University of Singapore (NUS).
Jerdon’s Babbler had last been seen in Myanmar in July 1941 and was considered by many to be extinct in the country.
News of the rediscovery was unveiled in the latest issue of BirdingASIA (the six-monthly journal of the Oriental Bird Club).
Note that the species as a whole was not regarded as extinct: just the Burmese (type) subspecies. There are 2 other races.

Apparently he's staying in the Congo until the end of April, so photos should be expected sometime in May. Bit of a wait but should confirm the rediscovery so as to leave no doubt.
