The ashy prinia or ashy wren-warbler (Prinia socialis) (Kannada Name -
ಟುವ್ವಿಹಕ್ಕಿ - Tuvvi Hakki) is a small
warbler in the family
Cisticolidae.
[2] This
prinia is a resident breeder in the
Indian Subcontinent, ranging across most of
India,
Nepal,
Bangladesh,
Bhutan,
Sri Lanka and western
Myanmar. It is a common bird in urban gardens and farmland in many parts of
India and its small size, distinctive colours and upright tail make it easy to identify. The northern populations have a rufous rump and back and have a distinct breeding and non-breeding plumage while other populations lack such variation.
