The Western Bluebill is a striking finch found in the lowland forests of West and Central Africa. Males are predominantly black with a bright red head and breast, and a prominent blue bill.
Where to spot
Widespread in lowland rainforests of West and Central Africa, from Senegal to Angola. Inhabits dense undergrowth, forest edges, and clearings.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or in low vegetation. The large blue bill and red and black plumage (in males) are unmistakable.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the breeding season. Can be challenging to spot due to its secretive nature.

Like other bluebills, this species has an unusually large, conical bill, perfectly adapted for its diet of hard-shelled seeds.
