The Plain prinia, also known as the Tawny-flanked prinia, is a small bird species found in various parts of Asia, including India, China, and Southeast Asia. It has a distinctive tawny-colored back and flanks, with a white or pale gray underbelly. The Plain prinia is typically found in open grasslands, agricultural fields, and scrublands, and feeds primarily on insects and seeds. It is known for its high-pitched, repetitive song, which can often be heard in its habitat. The Plain prinia is not considered to be endangered, although habitat loss and degradation due to agricultural and urban development are potential threats to its populations in some areas.
