Found in lowland rainforests and mature secondary growth in Central Africa, including Cameroon, Gabon, and DR Congo. Prefers dense understory.
How to spot
Look for it on the forest floor, foraging for seeds and small insects. Patience is required. Listen for its soft, unassuming calls.
When to spot
Year-round, but often very secretive and difficult to spot. Early mornings are best.
