The White-tailed Ant-Thrush is a reclusive thrush species of Central African rainforests, characterized by its dark brown plumage, bright red eyes, and a noticeable white patch at the base of its tail, often only visible in flight.
Where to spot
Found in Central African rainforests, including countries like Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and DR Congo, preferring dense primary and secondary forests.
How to spot
Look for its dark body and red eyes. The white patch at the base of the tail is a key identifier, but often only visible when the bird is in flight or actively flicking its tail. Follow ant swarms.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, especially during foraging. Can be observed year-round, often near army ant swarms.
