The Southern Citril is a small, vibrant finch found in southeastern Africa. Males display bright yellow underparts and olive-green upperparts. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern Africa, particularly in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. It inhabits montane evergreen forests, forest edges, and clearings.
How to spot
Scan forest edges and clearings in montane areas. The bright yellow plumage of the male is a good field mark. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid song.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident range. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, which typically corresponds to the local rainy season.

Like other citrils, it is an acrobatic forager, often hanging upside down to extract seeds from cones and seed heads.
