Fan-tailed Grassbird

Catriscus brevirostris (Sundevall, CJ 1850)

The fan-tailed grassbird or broad-tailed warbler is an African species of Old World warbler in the family Locustellidae. The species is closely related to the broad-tailed grassbird of India, and is sometimes treated as the same species, although a 2018 study found that it and broad-tailed grassbird were not closely related with the Indian species being a sister of Chaetornis striata.
