Apalis chapini

Chapin's Apalis is a small passerine bird found in the highland forests of East Africa. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, and a distinctive white eye-ring. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the dense undergrowth of its forest habitat. Chapin's Apalis is an insectivore, foraging for small insects and larvae in the foliage. It is a relatively shy and elusive bird, often remaining hidden within the thick vegetation. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, the population of Chapin's Apalis is declining, and it is currently classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN.
