Agrobate brun Cercotrichas signata

A large gray-brown scrub-robin with bold white tail tips, eyebrow, and throat and wing markings. Underparts are cool gray-brown and white. Pairs are secretive in coastal evergreen forest and thickets, but they become tame around campsites and gardens, and are particularly prominent at dawn and dusk. The species is often first detected by its musical song that is consistently introduced with a two-note “teee-tooo,” followed by a delightfully varied 4-7 notes that can include imitations of other species. The similar Bearded Scrub-Robin differs from Brown Scrub-Robin by having an orange-buff rump, breast-band, and flanks, and warmer upperparts coloration.
