Orange-throated Longclaw

Macronyx aurantiigula

The Orange-throated Longclaw is a small bird species found in eastern Africa, particularly in Kenya and Tanzania. It is known for its striking orange throat and black and white plumage. This bird is often found in grasslands and savannas, where it forages for insects and seeds on the ground. The male has a distinctive display flight, during which it hovers and sings to attract a mate. The Orange-throated Longclaw is not currently considered threatened, but habitat loss and degradation are potential future threats to its population.
