ソマリハイイロガラ Melaniparus thruppi

A typical tit with a black, white, and gray pattern. The black bib continues as a dark stripe down the center of the underparts. There are white edgings on much of the wing. Found in dry savanna and thornscrub, usually in pairs or small groups, and readily joins mixed flocks. Gives typical tit vocalizations including the classic “dree di-di-di” call and other whistled and chattering calls.
