Ashy Prinia
Prinia socialis Sykes, 1832
Cisticolidae — Cisticolas & Allies
Ashy Prinia, Prinia socialis, is a passerine of the family Cisticolidae that breeds across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. It is a resident bird of the Oriental Region, and is often encountered in open country, scrub, grassland, woodland edges and gardens. Its upright tail is a useful field mark, along with its small size and the seasonal differences shown by some populations. The northern birds have a rufous back and rump, while others keep the same plumage through the year. It was described by Sykes in 1832.
