Broad-tailed grassbird
The broad-tailed grassbird (''Schoenicola platyurus'') is a species of Old World warbler in the Locustellidae family. It is endemic to the Western Ghats of India with the possibility of occurrence in Sri Lanka. A small, mostly brown bird, it has a broad rounded and graduated tail. It is found only on the higher altitude grassy hills where it usually skulks, except during the breeding season when males fly up into the air to sing in their display. The species is believed to be a resident although it is possible that they make local movements.
==Description==
The uniform brown upperparts, broad and long graduated tail of the bird is distinctive. The species has a buff supercilium and the brown tail has thin dark bars. The underside of the tail is very dark and the feathers are tipped with white. Males and females are indistinguishable in plumage. The call of the male during breeding is a lark-like and repeated trill that is accompanied by fanned tail and a fluttering flight. Other calls include a ''chack'' and a ''zink'' note. The gape colour is black and visible in singing males but is brown in females.〔〔 In the non-breeding season, it is a skulker moving rapidly between grass and reeds but sometimes perches in the open.
