Thethamnornis orthamnornis warbler (Thamnornis chloropetoides) is a species ofMalagasy warbler in the familyBernieridae.[2] It is endemic toMadagascar, where it is restricted to thespiny forest of the island's southwest. It is greyish above and whitish below, with narrow green fringes to the wing feathers and a marked supercilium. The outer tail-feathers have pale tips.[3]
Its naturalhabitats are subtropical or tropical dryforests and subtropical or tropical dryshrubland. It is usually seen near the ground, but sings from tall trees. It often associates in family groups or withNewtonias inmixed-species flocks.[3] While not considered threatened, its population is inferred to be decreasing due to widespread deforestation across its range.[2]
A 2019 phylogenetic study found the Thamnornis to be thesister species ofRand's warbler.[4]
