Striped Prinia (Prinia striata)
About the Striped Prinia
The striped prinia (Prinia striata) or Swinhoe's prinia is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It was formerly lumped with the Himalayan prinia (P. crinigera) as the striated prinia, but was split from it following a study published in 2019. It is distributed throughout mainland China and Taiwan. It is sympatric with P. crinigera in the Yunnan Province of China. There are three known subspecies: P. s. catharia which ranges from northeast India through Myanmar to south-central China. P. s. parumstriata, which is distributed throughout southeast and central China, and P. s. striata, which is restricted to Taiwan.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 26 recordings for this species: 12 CC BY-NC-SA · 1 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
