Least Concern

The Black-throated Prinia is a small active songbird of the Himalayan foothills and adjacent mountains. It works through grasses, reeds, scrub, or forest-edge tangles for insects, often flicking its tail and giving sharp calls. Several relatives stitch leaves or weave domed nests hidden low in vegetation.
