The Dapple-throat is a rare and elusive species of African rainforests, characterized by its mottled throat and breast, and generally dull brown plumage. It is a highly secretive ground-dweller.
Where to spot
Found in scattered, relictual patches of montane rainforest in East Africa, including Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique, often at high elevations.
How to spot
Requires visiting specific, often remote, montane rainforest patches. Look for it foraging quietly on the forest floor. Its elusive nature means quiet approach and significant patience are essential.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observation is challenging due to its rarity and skulking nature. Best sought during the breeding season when males might be more vocal.
