The Silverbird (*Empidornis semipartitus*) is a striking African flycatcher with a distinct bicolored plumage: bright rufous underparts and glossy grey upperparts, with a contrasting white throat.
Where to spot
Found in open woodlands, acacia savannas, and shrublands across eastern Africa, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable grey and rufous plumage with a white throat. It often perches conspicuously and sallies out to catch insects. Listen for its clear, melodious song.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, active year-round. It is often observed throughout the day, perching prominently on acacia trees or bushes.
