About These Birds
Black-capped Illadopsis
The Black-capped Illadopsis is a secretive babbler of West African lowland rainforests, with a distinctive black cap, white throat, and brown upperparts. It inhabits the dense forest floor and undergrowth from Senegal and Gambia east to Ghana and Nigeria. It skulks in dark forest undergrowth, feeding on insects, small invertebrates, and fallen seeds.
