Spotted
A relatively plain sunbird, the Mouse-brown Sunbird has dull mouse-brown upperparts and paler underparts, lacking the bright colors of most sunbirds. It has a slightly decurved bill.
Where to spot
Found along the coast of West and Central Africa, from Senegal to Angola, primarily inhabiting mangroves, coastal thickets, and riparian vegetation.
How to spot
Look for it in mangrove trees and other coastal vegetation. Its drab plumage is a key identifier. Listen for its high-pitched, rather simple calls which can reveal its presence.
When to spot
Active year-round, often seen foraging throughout the day.
