About These Birds
Black-faced Rufous-warbler
The Black-faced Rufous-warbler is a small, secretive warbler with rich rufous-brown upperparts and a striking black face and throat, making it one of the more distinctively marked African warblers. It inhabits dense montane forest undergrowth and bamboo thickets in east-central Africa, particularly in the Albertine Rift region. It forages skulkingly close to the ground, searching leaf litter and dense vegetation for small insects.
Annam Prinia
