Erlanger's Batis is a small and elusive insectivorous bird, often considered a subspecies of another batis. It shares the typical batis features of a black mask, white supercilium, and a breast band.
Where to spot
Endemic to the high-altitude forests of the Ethiopian Highlands.
How to spot
Search the mid to upper canopy of montane forests in Ethiopia. Identification requires careful attention to subtle plumage differences from similar batis species in the region. Listen for its characteristic calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its restricted montane habitat. Active during daylight hours.
Due to its localized and sometimes isolated populations, this batis may exhibit slight vocal or plumage variations depending on its specific forest patch.
