Spotted
A small, strikingly marked apalis with a grey head, olive-green back, white underparts, and conspicuous white patches on its wings.
Where to spot
Tropical moist montane forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets, in very restricted areas of East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania).
How to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its rarity and dense habitat. Look for the white wing patches if you get a clear view. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid calls. Local expertise is crucial.
When to spot
Year-round resident within its fragmented range. Any observation is a rare and significant event.

The 'white-winged' feature refers to white markings on the wing coverts, which are a unique and beautiful diagnostic feature among apalises.
