Dark-necked Tailorbird

 Passeriformes - Cisticolidae - Orthotomus atrogularis (Perenjak Leher Hitam)


A brightly-colored tailorbird of lowland tropical forests, forest edges, and gardens. Long-billed with olive upperparts, pale underparts, and a rufous crown. Dark neck patch is only present in males and is unique if seen well but is sometimes concealed and difficult to see. Can be a shy species, staying deep within tangled vegetation; listen for its song, often given in duets, a series of trilled phrases. Also gives a high-pitched nasal “daydayday.” Common Tailorbird is similar but has a less extensive rufous crown and lacks yellow vent and black neck patch.

Of what is true




The glitter of the catch
The grasp of the haves
Drum roll that soon fades
What is the truth?
