Green-capped Eremomela

Eremomela scotops

The Green-capped Eremomela, or Greencap Eremomela, is a charming avian species that was once grouped with the "Old World warblers" but has since found its rightful place within the family Cisticolidae. This bird is scientifically known as Eremomela scotops, a name given to it in the year 1850 by Sundevall.

Identification Tips

When seeking the Green-capped Eremomela, one should look for its distinctive green cap, which serves as a vivid contrast to its otherwise subdued plumage. The bird's appearance may vary slightly across its range, with five accepted races exhibiting subtle differences in coloration and markings.

Habitat

The natural habitats of this species are the subtropical or tropical dry forests and the arid expanses of the dry savanna. These environments provide the Green-capped Eremomela with the necessary cover and resources for its survival.

Distribution

The Green-capped Eremomela graces a wide range of African landscapes, from Angola to Zimbabwe, including Botswana, Burundi, Congo, DRC, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Green-capped Eremomela as being of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. This status indicates that, for now, the species does not face an immediate threat of extinction in the wild.
