Grey-backed Tailorbird

Acrocephalus familiaris

The Grey-backed Tailorbird (Acrocephalus familiaris) is a small songbird found in Southeast Asia. It is known for its olive-brown upperparts and greyish-white underparts, with a distinctive long tail. This species is often found in dense vegetation near water bodies, such as marshes, reedbeds, and mangroves. It is an adept skulker, often heard but not easily seen due to its secretive nature. The Grey-backed Tailorbird feeds on insects and small invertebrates, foraging within the dense foliage. While its population size is unknown, it faces threats from habitat loss and degradation.
