#SmallBirdSaturday Here's a Plain Prinia from India. #birds #birdphotography #wildlife #nature #photography #ECK #Nikon #IndiaBirding

The Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata), also known as the Plain Wren-warbler or White-browed Wren-warbler, is a small cisticolid warbler found in Southeast Asia. It is a resident breeder from Pakistan and India to south China and southeast Asia. It was formerly included in the tawny-flanked prinia (Prinia subflava), resident in Africa south of the Sahara. The two are now usually considered to be separate species.
