Spotted
The Rufous-fronted Prinia is characterized by its rufous forehead and supercilium, contrasting with an unstreaked greyish body. It is found in drier, scrubby habitats.
Where to spot
Distributed across the Indian subcontinent, particularly drier regions of India and Pakistan. It inhabits dry scrubland, semi-desert areas, and open country with scattered bushes.
How to spot
Look for the rufous forehead and eye-stripe. Listen for its high-pitched, rattling call. It often forages close to the ground in thorny bushes.
When to spot
A year-round resident. It is most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially mornings.
