This very distinct little species is allied to D. rufifrons , 
with some points of resemblance to Prinia moelleri Boc. The 
most noticeable point is the long black tail of the* bird, 
the feathers of which have ashy tips ; crown ferrugineous, 
back reddish olive, rump and upper tail-coverts ashy; under 
surface white, the throat and fore-neck being tinged with 
pale fawn ; flanks ashy. 
Total length 4*1 inches; culmen 0*45 ; wing 2*0; tail 2'0; 
tarsus 0*65.
