The Western Citril is a small, colorful finch related to the African Citril. Males have bright yellow underparts and an olive-green back. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Found in West and Central Africa, from Sierra Leone to Cameroon and Gabon. It inhabits montane forests, forest edges, and clearings.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story and canopy of montane forests or at forest edges. The bright yellow plumage is distinctive for males. Listen for its high-pitched, energetic song.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its resident range. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, which is often tied to local rainy seasons.
