Where to spot
Endemic to the Democratic Republic of Congo. It inhabits clearings, forest edges, and savannas adjacent to humid broadleaf forests.
How to spot
Look for them at forest edges or in open areas near woodlands. The prominent black face mask is a key identification feature. Listen for their canary-like song.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its restricted range. Best observed during the breeding season when activity is higher.
