Sierra Leone Prinia Schistolais leontica

A mostly dark gray long-tailed warbler with a striking whitish eye, buff flanks, and pinkish legs. Local and scarce in a handful of hills and mountains in Upper Guinea, where pairs and small groups skulk low down in very wet forest edge, riverine scrub, and thickets in gullies between 600 and 1600 meters of elevation. Calls include a high-pitched “sit-sit-sit.” and a more nasal “bur-bur-bur.” Other warblers lack the pale eye.
