Rand's warbler
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Speciesbox
Rand's warbler (Randia pseudozosterops) is a species in the family Bernieridae. It is found only in Madagascar, where it is restricted to the island's eastern rainforests. It is grey above and unmarked pale below, with a strong pale supercilium. The bill is strong and slightly decurved, with some individuals possessing a pale orange lower mandible.[1]
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, where it is fairly common up to 1200 m. It frequently joins mixed-species flocks, where it often feeds along horizontal or angled branches. It also tends to sing for long periods from the canopy.[1] While not considered threatened, its population is inferred to be decreasing due to widespread deforestation across its range.[2]
A 2019 phylogenetic study found Rand's warbler to be the sister species of the Thamnornis.[3]
