Socotra Warbler Incana incana

Drab little warbler endemic to Socotra. Gray-brown above and pale gray below, sometimes showing a brighter rufous coloration crown. Found in most habitats with trees and bushes, ranging from grassland dotted with shrubs to fairly lush woodland. Often runs on the ground, and sometimes cocks up the tail. Vocalizations include harsh “tek” notes and a fast, high-pitched trill of very dry notes. Within its range, can only be confused with Socotra Cisticola, but easily distinguished by the darker and duller coloration, without streaking on the crown or back.
