Prigogine's Double-collared Sunbird is a little-known species, characterized by the male's iridescent green and blue plumage with a distinct red and blue breast band. It is restricted to high-altitude forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very restricted area in the Democratic Republic of Congo, found exclusively in high-altitude montane forests and bamboo zones of the Itombwe Mountains.
How to spot
Requires dedicated expeditions to its specific montane forest habitat. Look for its distinctive plumage and listen for its calls within the dense forest canopy and understory.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its specific habitat. Observation can be challenging due to its restricted and often remote range. Best during morning activity periods.
