Banded Parisoma Curruca boehmi

An unusual warbler of dry country. Gray above and white below with a dark chest band, variable spotting on the throat, white patches on the wing and outer tail, and a buff wash on the belly and undertail. Found in dry thorn savanna and woodland, often in pairs. Separated from other gray-backed warblers by the dark chest band. The distinctive song consists of musical, accelerating whistled notes, the series often rising or falling.
