The Yellow-footed Flycatcher (*Muscicapa epulata*) is an African flycatcher distinguished by its bright yellow feet and legs, which contrast with its dull olive-brown plumage. It has a relatively short tail.
Where to spot
Inhabits primary and secondary evergreen forests, especially in the understory and mid-story, in central Africa, including countries like Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Focus on observing its feet to confirm identification. It typically perches quietly, making short sallies to catch insects. Listening for its soft, high-pitched calls may be the best way to detect it.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitats. It is most active during the early morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects among the foliage.
