The Thrush-like Illadopsis is a relatively large, plain babbler of African forests, named for its somewhat thrush-like appearance and behavior. It is a secretive ground-dweller.
Where to spot
Found in parts of West and Central Africa, including countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, and Angola. Inhabits lowland and montane rainforests, preferring dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Look for its relatively large size and plain brownish plumage as it forages on the forest floor. Listen for its distinctive, often deep and resonant, whistled calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Patience is often required due to its skulking nature.
