Gray-bellied Tesia

Tesia cyaniventer

Least Concern

The Gray-bellied Tesia is a small, secretive warbler of Eurasian and Southeast Asian scrub, reedbeds, and forest edges. It keeps close to dense grass, reedbeds, bamboo, or tangled undergrowth, where it picks insects and spiders from stems and leaves. Many are heard as sharp notes or rich songs before they are clearly seen.
