Common Lesser Whitethroat

Sylvia curruca

Description:

Not sure if the ID is 100% correct. Appreciate help on the same Unlike many typical warblers, the sexes are almost identical. This is a small species with a grey back, whitish underparts, a grey head with a darker "bandit mask" through the eyes and a white throat. It is slightly smaller than the Whitethroat, and lacks the chestnut wings and uniform head-face color of that species.

Habitat:

Seen near gardens.

Notes:

The Lesser Whitethroat's song is a fast and rattling sequence of tet or che calls, quite different from the Whitethroat's scolding song.
