The Yellow-billed Spurfowl is a relatively small and dark spurfowl distinguished by its striking bright yellow bill and legs. It is an inhabitant of the tropical forests of central Africa.
Where to spot
Inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests, dense bush, and forest edges in central Africa, including Cameroon, Gabon, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
How to spot
Listen for its rapid, descending call. Look for subtle movements in the undergrowth, as they are often heard before they are seen due to their excellent camouflage.
When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially at dawn and dusk, when it is more likely to forage.

This spurfowl is highly cryptic, blending seamlessly into the dark undergrowth of its forest home, making it particularly challenging to spot despite its bright bill.
