Spotted
A small, short-tailed warbler with a distinctive reddish or rufous face and throat, contrasting with its olive-green upperparts and pale belly.
Where to spot
Dry forests, woodlands, and dense scrubland across East and Southern Africa, often favoring areas with a dense understory.
How to spot
Look for the prominent rufous coloration on its face. It's an active gleaner of insects, moving quickly through foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, rather fast song or calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings when it is most vocal. Breeding usually occurs during the local wet season.
The Red-faced Crombec's facial pattern is a key diagnostic feature, making it relatively easy to identify among other crombec species in its African habitat.
