The Rufous-winged Illadopsis is a distinctive African babbler, named for its contrasting rufous wing panel. It is a secretive bird, typically found foraging in the dense undergrowth of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Found across West and Central Africa, including countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Gabon. Inhabits lowland and montane rainforests, secondary growth, and dense thickets.
How to spot
Look for its subtle rufous wing panel as it moves quickly through dense low vegetation. Listen for its distinctive, often mournful, whistled calls, which can help pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Patience is often required due to its skulking nature.
