Bates' Paradise Flycatcher is a localized species found in the forests of Central Africa. Unlike many paradise flycatchers, males of this species do not possess long tail streamers, making it less ostentatious but still distinctive.
Where to spot
Found in parts of Central Africa, including Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo. Inhabits tropical moist lowland forests.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story to upper canopy of dense forests. Observe its quick, agile movements as it catches insects. Listen for its calls, which can be high-pitched and somewhat buzzing.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the mornings and late afternoons when birds are actively foraging.

Its lack of elongated tail streamers differentiates it visually from many other Terpsiphone species, suggesting a different evolutionary path or display strategy.
