The Black-headed Apalis is a slim, active warbler with a distinctive all-black head contrasting sharply with its white underparts and olive-green back. It is endemic to coastal forests and dense thickets of East Africa, primarily in Kenya and Tanzania, inhabiting forest edges and secondary growth. It forages through the foliage gleaning small insects and spiders, often in pairs or mixed-species flocks.
