The Rufous-tailed Flycatcher (*Agricola infuscatus*, now *Melaenornis infuscatus*) is a large, sturdy African flycatcher characterized by its dusky brown plumage and a noticeable rufous wash on its tail and rump.
Where to spot
Found in dry woodlands, savannas, and semi-arid scrublands across southern Africa, including South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana.
How to spot
Look for its dark, dusky plumage and the distinct rufous wash on its tail, especially when it takes flight. It can be secretive, so listening for its soft calls is helpful.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, active year-round. It is often observed throughout the day, foraging on the ground or sallying from low perches.
