Who knew something called a Zitting Cisticola existed?

There’s a flock of tiny birds in this park in Rome. I have no idea what they are:

They remind me of Sedge Warblers, but I know that’s not what they are. They are very wary as I approach. This one peers at me suspiciously:

Aren’t they fabulous?

They are crested, striped, fluffy and pale underneath with a reddish rump.

They are Streaked Fantail Warblers, Cisticola juncidis.

Aren’t they endearing?
