Cisticola lugubris (Rüppell, 1840) | |
The Ethiopian cisticola (Cisticola lugubris) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is found in south-central Africa.[1][2]
Alternate common names are Abyssinian black-backed cisticola, and winding cisticola (Ethiopian) (eBird).[3]
Taxonomy
The Ethiopian cisticola is monotypic.[4] This taxon was split from the winding cisticola by the IOC and HBW, as were the rufous-winged cisticola, Luapula cisticola and coastal cisticola. The Clements (2017) and Howard and Moore (2014) world lists consider these taxa as a single species, the winding cisticola C. galactotes (sensu lato).[3]
Distribution and habitat
This species is found in the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea.[2]
Its natural habitats are tropical seasonally wet or flooded grassland and swamps.
