Spotted
The Pale-fronted Nigrita is a small, dark finch inhabiting the lowland rainforests of West and Central Africa. It has a black body with a distinctive pale (yellowish or whitish) patch on its forehead.
Where to spot
Found in lowland rainforests from West Africa (e.g., Ghana) to Central Africa (e.g., DR Congo). Prefers mid to upper canopy layers of dense forest.
How to spot
Look for it foraging for insects in the canopy. The pale forehead patch, though subtle, is the key identification mark. Binoculars are essential.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed during early morning and late afternoon.
This Nigrita is often more arboreal than its relatives, frequently foraging higher in the canopy.
