The plain prinia, or the plain, or white-browed wren-warbler〔 p. 343 〕 (''Prinia inornata'') is a small warbler in the Cisticolidae family. It is a resident breeder from Pakistan and India to south China and southeast Asia. It was formerly included in the tawny-flanked prinia, ''Prinia subflava'' (Gmelin, 1789), resident in Africa south of the Sahara. The two are now usually considered to be separate species. This skulking passerine bird is typically found in wet lowland grassland, open woodland, scrub and sometimes gardens. The plain prinia builds its nest in a shrub or tall grass and lays three to six eggs. (The tawny-flanked prinia nests in herbage and lays two to four eggs.) These 13–14-cm long warblers have short rounded wings, a longish tail, strong legs and a short black bill. In breeding plumage, adults are grey-brown above, with a short white supercilium and rufous fringes on the closed wings. Underparts are whitish-buff. The sexes are identical. In winter, the upperparts are a warmer brown, and the underparts more buff. The tail is longer than in summer. There are a number of races differing in plumage shade. The endemic race in Sri Lanka retains summer plumage, including the shorter tail, all year round. Like most warblers, the plain prinia is insectivorous. The song is a repetitive ''tlee-tlee-tlee''. ==Gallery== Image:Plain Prinia at Sindhrot near Vadodara, Gujrat Pix 221.jpg|At Sindhrot in Vadodara District of Gujarat, India Image:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) at Sindhrot near Vadodara, Gujrat Pix 220.jpg|At Sindhrot in Vadodara District of Gujarat, India Image:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) at Sindhrot near Vadodara, Gujrat Pix 202.jpg|At Sindhrot in Vadodara District of Gujarat, India Image:Plain Prinia I- Kolkata IMG 5509.jpg|In Kolkata, West Bengal, India Image:Plain Prinia I IMG 8220.jpg|In Kolkata, West Bengal, India Image:Plain Prinia I IMG 0252.jpg|In Kolkata, West Bengal, India Image:Plain Prinia- Gobbling up the prey- I IMG 6666.jpg|Gobbling up the prey in Kolkata, West Bengal, India Image:Plain Prinia- Calling I2 IMG 2128.jpg|Calling in Kolkata, West Bengal, India Image:Plain Prinia at Hodal I IMG 9312.jpg|Near Hodal in Faridabad District of Haryana, India Image:Plain Prinia at Hodal I-Haryana IMG 8933.jpg|At Hodal in Faridabad District of Haryana, India File:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) in Hyderabad, AP W IMG 1376.jpg|In Hyderabad, India File:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) in Kawal WS, AP W IMG 1875.jpg|In Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary, India File:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) in Kawal WS, AP W IMG 1865.jpg|In Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary, India File:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) in Kawal WS, AP W IMG 1845.jpg|In Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary, India File:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) in Kawal WS, AP W IMG 1574.jpg|In Kawal Wildlife Sanctuary, India File:Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata) near Hyderabad W IMG 4876.jpg|Near Hyderabad, India File:Plain Prinia @ Sholinganallur.jpg|Plain Prinia @ Sholinganallur ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plain prinia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
