Spotted
A distinctive apalis with a black mask around its eyes and lores, contrasting with a grey head, olive-green back, and pale underparts.
Where to spot
Montane forests, particularly in the mid-strata and understory, in Central Africa (e.g., Cameroon, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea).
How to spot
Look for the dark mask around its eyes. It is an active gleaner of insects. Listen for its high-pitched, sometimes buzzing, calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active in the mornings. Breeding likely coincides with the wet season.

The Masked Apalis is often found in humid, montane forests, where its subtle coloration and masked face help it blend into the dappled light of the forest understory.
