Yellow-throated Tinkerbird

Pogoniulus leucomystax

The Yellow-throated Tinkerbird (Pogoniulus leucomystax) is a small bird found in the forests and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. This species is known for its distinctive yellow throat and bright green plumage. It has a short, sharp beak that it uses to forage for insects and fruits in the tree canopies. The Yellow-throated Tinkerbird is often heard before it is seen, as it produces a series of high-pitched calls. It nests in tree cavities and is generally solitary or found in pairs. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation pose potential risks to its populations.
