The White-browed Forest Flycatcher (*Fraseria plumbea*) is a distinctive African flycatcher characterized by a prominent white supercilium (eyebrow) that contrasts with its dark grey or slate-colored plumage.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory and mid-story of humid lowland forests and dense secondary growth across West and Central Africa, from Sierra Leone to Angola and Uganda.
How to spot
Look for the distinct white supercilium. It often perches quietly on low branches, darting out to snatch insects. Its upright posture is typical. Listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. It is most active during the early morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects among the foliage.
