White-tailed Warbler

Sciaphylax hemimelaena

The White-tailed Warbler (Sciaphylax hemimelaena) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the dense undergrowth of tropical forests in Central and West Africa. It is known for its distinctive white tail feathers and olive-green upperparts. The underparts are pale yellow, and it has a distinctive white eye-ring. This species is often found foraging in the lower levels of the forest, hopping from branch to branch in search of insects. The White-tailed Warbler is known for its melodious and repetitive song, which can often be heard echoing through the forest. Despite its wide distribution, little is known about the population trends and specific threats to this species.
