Spotted
The Oriole Finch is a striking finch with males exhibiting bright yellow and black plumage, resembling an oriole. Females are duller, with olive and grey tones.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, from Sierra Leone to Angola and Uganda. It inhabits primary and secondary evergreen forests, often in the mid-story to canopy.
How to spot
Scan the canopy and mid-story of tropical forests. Look for flashes of yellow and black. Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched song and calls. Patience is key.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident forest habitat. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, which varies by region but is typically tied to rainy seasons.

Despite its vibrant coloration, the Oriole Finch can be difficult to spot as it often forages quietly in the dense canopy of forests.
