höglandssiska Crithagra striatipectus

Medium-sized brown, heavily streaked seedeater. Note the streaked underparts and boldly marked face with a streaked crown, white eyebrow, and broad dark brown patch through the eye. Found in woodland habitats including miombo. Gives a pretty, musical up-and-down song of whistles and trills. Calls include a nasal rising “tsewee.” Similar to Black-eared Seedeater, but the ear markings are dark brown rather than black. Formerly treated as a subspecies of Reichard’s Seedeater.
