Rufous-winged Cisticola (Cisticola galactotes)
About the Rufous-winged Cisticola
The rufous-winged cisticola (Cisticola galactotes) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is found on the east coast of southern Africa. The rufous-winged cisticola has two subspecies: C. g. isodactylus Peters, W, 1868 from southern Malawi, south-eastern Zimbabwe and western Mozambique; and C. g. galactotes (Temminck, 1821) from southern Mozambique and eastern South Africa. This taxon was split from the winding cisticola by the IOC and HBW, as were the Luapula cisticola, coastal cisticola and Ethiopian 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). It is found in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
