Prinia inornata (Plain Prinia)

Wikipedia Abstract

The plain prinia, or the plain, or white-browed wren-warbler (Prinia inornata) is a small warbler in the Cisticolidae family. It is a resident breeder from Pakistan and India to south China and southeast Asia. It was formerly included in the tawny-flanked prinia, Prinia subflava (Gmelin, 1789), resident in Africa south of the Sahara. The two are now usually considered to be separate species. Like most warblers, the plain prinia is insectivorous. The song is a repetitive tlee-tlee-tlee.
