Yellow-bellied Prinia
Prinia familiaris
The adult Yellow-bellied Prinia is a small, active songbird of grasslands, reedbeds, scrub, farmland edges, and gardens in parts of Southeast Asia. It darts through low vegetation, flicks its tail, and feeds mainly on insects and other tiny invertebrates gleaned from leaves and stems. During breeding, it builds a neat nest among grasses or low plants and may scold intruders with sharp calls. Its bright yellow underside and restless movement make it distinctive despite its small size.
