Somali Crombec Sylvietta isabellina

A small and virtually tailless warbler with a gray-brown back and buff underparts. There is a pale eyebrow and throat patch. The bill is unusually long and downcurved for a crombec. Generally uncommon in dry thorn savanna and thornscrub. Sometimes joins mixed flocks. The song is a quick jumble of squeaky, whistled notes. The calls include a short, fast rattle. Separated from all other crombecs in its range by the long bill.
