Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small, drab, olive-green tinkerbird. The most distinctive markings are two yellow wingbars and a yellow rump. Also note the mostly dark bill with a pink base. Found in forest and lush woodland. Usually detected by voice: accelerating trilled phrases that are repeated, sometimes for a long time. Also gives a slower series of several tooting notes. Very similar to Moustached Tinkerbird, but only overlaps slightly in range, and separated by the plain face.
