Retz's Helmetshrike lives in woodland south of the Sahara and forages in cohesive groups of several to more than a dozen birds.
Adults have a black head, brown back and wings, and white undertail coverts. The red bill, legs, and eye-wattles are prominent in adults and may be reduced in juveniles.
Cohesive groups move through trees and search branches, trunks, and twigs for invertebrates.
