Restricted to specific montane forest patches in Tanzania and Malawi.
How to spot
Requires quiet and patient observation in its preferred dense habitat. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated calls.
When to spot
Best sought during the breeding season when vocal activity is higher, primarily in the mornings.
Named after Richard Bowdler Sharpe, a prominent English ornithologist, it highlights the importance of detailed study for such cryptic species.
