About the Pale-crowned Cisticola
The pale-crowned cisticola (Cisticola cinnamomeus) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. Cisticola cinnamomeus was split from Cisticola brunnescens (pectoral-patch cisticola); since 2000 it has been recognised as a separate species by most world bird-listing authorities.
It is found in Africa from eastern South Africa to Gabon and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are damp or marshy areas in upland grassland. Pectoral-patch cisticola - Species text in The Atlas of Southern African Birds. Wikipedia →
