Special equalizers associated to a comonad

Associated to a comonad T : C ⥤ C we have important equalizer constructions: Any coalgebra is an equalizer (in the category of coalgebras) of cofree coalgebras. Furthermore, this equalizer is coreflexive. In C, this fork diagram is a split equalizer (in particular, it is still an equalizer). This split equalizer is known as the Beck equalizer (as it features heavily in Beck's comonadicity theorem).

Show that any coalgebra is an equalizer of cofree coalgebras.
