The Gambaga Flycatcher (*Muscicapa gambagae*) is a small, pale African flycatcher known for its rather plain, greyish-brown plumage and upright posture. It often has a faint streaking on its breast.
Where to spot
Found in dry woodlands, savannas with scattered trees, and acacia scrub across a band of sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal east to Ethiopia and Kenya.
How to spot
Look for its pale, greyish-brown plumage and upright stance. Watch for its characteristic flycatching behavior from an exposed perch. Listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout much of its range, active year-round. It is often observed throughout the day, sallying from prominent perches to catch insects.
