A small, sharp-billed warbler-like bird. Very dull olive-brown in coloration, with conspicuous white “spectacles.” Found locally in forest, woodland, and gardens on some of the granitic Seychelles islands. Usually found in hyperactive flocks. Vaguely similar to Seychelles Warbler, but smaller, shorter-tailed, and darker below, with bold white spectacles. Most common call is a “tew” note given singly or in a series. The song is a complex, varied sequence of high-pitched notes.
