About Crithagra tristriata (Rüppell, 1840)

This species measures 13 cm in length. It is a drab, uniformly grey-brown canary that has a small white supercilium. Its breast is plain, with no streaks or spots, and it has white plumage under the chin. The uniform drab coloration of the bird means its eponymous 'brown rump' is often not visible. It feeds on small seeds and grains from plants and small shrubs.
