Spotted
This small, cryptic bird is a resident of montane forests in Central Africa. Its plain plumage helps it blend seamlessly into its environment.
Where to spot
Montane evergreen forests in parts of Central Africa, including Angola, Congo, and Uganda.
How to spot
Listen carefully for its vocalizations, as it tends to remain concealed in dense vegetation close to the ground.
When to spot
Best detected by its song, particularly during morning and evening chorus. Present year-round.
Named after Portuguese zoologist José Vicente Barboza du Bocage, this species epitomizes the shy and hard-to-see nature of forest understory birds.
