The Olivaceous Flycatcher (*Fraseria olivascens*) is an African flycatcher characterized by its dull olive-brown plumage, which provides excellent camouflage within its forest habitat. It has a relatively pale belly.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and montane forests, particularly in the understory and mid-story, across West and Central Africa, including Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Uganda.
How to spot
Look for its uniform olive-brown plumage. It can be inconspicuous, so patience is required. Listen for its soft, unassuming calls and watch for subtle movements within dense foliage.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It is most active during the early morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects by gleaning from leaves or making short aerial sallies.

This species often joins mixed-species foraging flocks, particularly in the non-breeding season, to enhance foraging efficiency and predator detection.
