The Slate-colored Boubou is a uniformly dark bushshrike found in East Africa. Its plumage is a drab slate-grey, making it less conspicuous than other boubous, but it compensates with distinctive vocalizations.
Where to spot
Found in dry woodlands, acacia scrub, and riverine thickets in East Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
How to spot
Look for its uniform slate-grey plumage. Identification is often by its characteristic vocalizations, which are typically low-pitched, resonant hoots and whistles, often delivered in a duet.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often heard giving its calls from dense cover.

The Slate-colored Boubou is one of the few boubou species that lacks the stark black and white or black and red contrast typical of its relatives, blending more subtly into its environment.
