Spotted
The Brown Firefinch is a small, shy finch found in the dense thickets and woodlands of Central and Southern Africa. It is characterized by its dull brown upperparts and red face and rump, with white spotting on the flanks.
Where to spot
Distributed in dense thickets and woodlands near water across Central and Southern Africa, including Angola, DR Congo, Zambia, and Namibia.
How to spot
Look for it moving stealthily through dense undergrowth. The combination of brown and red with flank spots helps identify it, but patience is key.
When to spot
Year-round, but can be very secretive. Best chances are early morning or late afternoon.
