Note: Scientific name 'Cercotrichas hartlaubi' refers to Hartlaub's Spurfowl, not a scrub robin, which is likely an error in the provided list's 'Muscicapidae' family context. Assuming it should be a robin: Hartlaub's Robin. It is a shy, often overlooked forest bird with subtle plumage, preferring dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
If it were a robin (and not spurfowl), it would likely inhabit dense forests and thickets of Central or East Africa. (For Hartlaub's Spurfowl: Angola, DRC, Namibia in rocky, bushy hillsides).
How to spot
Patience is key. Look for subtle movements in the undergrowth or listen for its soft calls or song, which can give away its presence despite its hidden habits.
When to spot
Difficult to observe year-round due to its reclusive nature. Best chances during early morning or late afternoon when it might be foraging or vocalizing.

If 'Cercotrichas hartlaubi' is indeed a scrub robin (a less common designation), it would exhibit characteristic scrub robin behaviors like tail-flicking and singing from concealed perches.
