Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A long-tailed, slim, distinctive warbler of dry country. Gray-brown on the upperparts and whitish below, with white marks on the wing and outer tail. The tail is frequently cocked up and wagged from side to side. Found in dry thorn savanna and thornscrub, usually in pairs. Similar in shape to other prinias, but easily separated by the red forehead. Could be mistaken for some cisticolas, but shows white in the wing, and distinctive tail-wagging behavior. Song consists of long series of a musical or scolding note, sometimes punctuated by short series of a different kind of note; can be similar to Pale Prinia’s song, but generally much more varied.
