The Plain-backed Sunbird is a small, rather plain sunbird with dull olive-green upperparts and yellow underparts, lacking the strong iridescence of many other sunbird species. It has a slightly decurved bill.
Where to spot
Found in coastal regions of East Africa, from Kenya to Mozambique, inhabiting coastal forests and dense woodlands.
How to spot
Look for it in dense coastal thickets and forest edges, often near flowering plants. Its plain plumage can make it blend in, so observe its shape and movements carefully.
When to spot
Active year-round, best observed during the morning and late afternoon when visiting flowering shrubs.
