The Rwenzori hill babbler (Sylvia atriceps) is a species of passerine bird in the family Sylviidae that is found in Africa. The Rwenzori hill babbler was described by the English zoologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1902 and given the binomial name Turdinus atriceps. The type locality is the Rwenzori Mountains on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The specific epithet atriceps is from the Latin ater for "black" and -ceps for "capped" or "headed". The Rwenzori hill babbler was formerly considered to be a conspecific with the African hill babbler. The species is monotypic. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ruwenzori Hill Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (407 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
