The Rufous-bellied Prinia is a distinct species with a rufous wash on its belly and flanks, found in specific regions of Northeast India and parts of Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Distributed in Northeast India (Assam, Meghalaya), parts of Bangladesh, and Myanmar. It inhabits dense grasslands and scrubby hillsides.
How to spot
Look for the subtle rufous wash on its underparts. It often stays low in dense cover, so listening for its calls is a good strategy to locate it.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It can be more active and vocal during the monsoon season when vegetation is lush and breeding activity is high.

Its rufous coloration on the underparts is a key feature that helps distinguish it from other prinias in its range, particularly those with plainer undersides.
