Eremomela pusilla Hartlaub, 1857

Senegal Eremomela, Eremomela pusilla, is a passerine in the Cisticolidae family and breeds across western and central Africa from Mauritania and Senegal to Sierra Leone, Chad and the Central African Republic. It was first described by Hartlaub in 1857. It is found in savannas, including wooded savanna, and also uses cultivated land and orchards. The species occurs in small parties and feeds in trees. Its range extends through the western Sub-Saharan belt, with a narrow zone of overlap with the green-backed eremomela along the Cameroon-Central African Republic border.
