Identification
An active, slender, unstreaked warbler with a long graduated tail that is sometimes cocked. Gray above and pale below. Males and females are similar, but males have a richer rufous face. Found in virtually all habitats on the island of Sao Tome, though especially fond of scrub, plantations, and gardens. Easily identified, as it is the only warbler on Sao Tome. The song is a long series of high-pitched “siip” notes that are sometimes doubled.
