A small, active warbler with dull olive-green upperparts, greyish head, and pale underparts. It is distinguished by the greenish wash on its back, a subtle but key feature.
Where to spot
Dry woodlands, acacia savanna, and scrubland in a relatively restricted range in West Africa, including parts of Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad.
How to spot
Look for its overall olive-grey appearance with the subtle green wash. It's a quick and active bird, foraging among foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, sometimes buzzing, calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the morning. Breeding information is limited but likely tied to local rainy seasons.

Despite its common name, the 'green' on its back can be subtle, sometimes appearing more olive-grey, requiring careful observation for identification.
