Spotted
A small, distinctive warbler with a plain greyish head, olive-green back, and prominent white outer tail feathers, especially visible in flight.
Where to spot
Moist montane forests, particularly in the understory and mid-strata, in West and Central Africa (e.g., Cameroon, Nigeria, Bioko, Equatorial Guinea).
How to spot
Look for the white in its tail when it moves or flies. It is an active gleaner of insects. Listen for its high-pitched, somewhat sibilant calls, often given in short bursts.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day. Breeding is likely during the local wet season.

The White-tailed Warbler's white outer tail feathers are a striking feature that contrast with its otherwise subdued plumage, often noticed when the bird flits away.
