Wing Pattern: As the name suggests, it has a prominent bar on the wing, which is visible in flight and distinguishes it from other similar prinias.

Habitat: This bird inhabits a variety of habitats, including grasslands, open scrublands, marshes, and wetlands with tall grasses and reeds. It can also be found in agricultural fields and gardens.

Behavior: The bar-winged prinia is an active and restless bird, often seen hopping around in the grass or shrubbery, searching for insects, which constitute the majority of its diet. It may also feed on nectar and seeds occasionally.
