Widespread across West and Central Africa, including countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, and Uganda. Inhabits lowland and montane rainforests, secondary growth, and dense thickets.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, often repeated, whistled calls or chattering. Look for a plain brownish bird moving quietly and quickly through dense low vegetation, typically alone or in pairs.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, often found foraging low to the ground.
