Malimbes are forest weavers, and the Red-headed Malimbe is a bold black bird with a bright red head. It often joins mixed flocks moving through the canopy.
Tips for finding it
Check mixed feeding flocks and creepers on tall trees.
Forest birds are often heard long before they are seen. A guide who knows the calls is the single best investment you can make.
