A distinctive, medium-sized warbler with a uniform grey cap, contrasting with olive-brown upperparts and pale underparts. It has a relatively long tail.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of gallery forests, riparian woodlands, and dense thickets along rivers in a narrow band across Central Africa.
How to spot
Look for its distinct grey cap. It is often secretive and stays within dense cover. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated, loud, and ringing song, which helps in detection.
When to spot
