The Black-tailed Cisticola is an African species recognized by its plain, dark upperparts and a blackish tail. It is a secretive inhabitant of forest edges and thickets.
Where to spot
Found in Central Africa, specifically in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. It inhabits dense undergrowth, forest edges, and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for its dark tail as it moves through dense cover. Listen for its characteristic calls, as it often remains hidden and vocalizations are key.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Due to its secretive nature, early mornings may provide the best chance for observation when it is most active.

Its dark tail and skulking habits distinguish it from many other cisticolas that prefer more open habitats, making it harder to spot.
