Tawny-flanked Prinia

Acrocephalus tangorum

The Tawny-flanked Prinia, scientifically known as Acrocephalus tangorum, is a small passerine bird found in parts of Asia. It is characterized by its tawny flanks and distinctive streaked plumage. This species is known for its melodious and repetitive song, often heard from dense shrubbery and grasslands. Tawny-flanked Prinias are insectivorous and forage for food by hopping and flitting among low vegetation. They are known for their skulking behavior, making them challenging to observe. The species is monogamous and builds cup-shaped nests in dense vegetation. Tawny-flanked Prinias are not considered globally threatened and are relatively common within their range.

Habitat: Grasslands and shrubbery
