Cryptosylvicola randrianasoloi Goodman, Langrand & Whitney, 1996

Cryptic Warbler, Cryptosylvicola randrianasoloi, is a passerine that breeds in montane north-western and eastern Madagascar, where it is found in evergreen, humid rainforest. It belongs to Bernieridae, the family of Tetrakas and Allies, and was described by Goodman, Langrand and Whitney in 1996. The bird is a small forest-dweller with an olive-green back and greyish yellow underparts. Its face shows a rather faint supercilium and eye-stripe, and the bill is two-toned, with a dark upper mandible and a pale pink lower one.
