Observation details
Call heard. Photographed. Seen after a light drizzle. Very elusive and difficult to notice among the grasses. My attention was drawn by its call which was similar to the dial tone of a land phone! Its movement through the grasses to the nearby dense thicket was barely noticeable. From the fringes of the dense thicket, it made this call two or three times with a considerable break. It might be revealing its presence to another individual which must be hidden somewhere. One bird had black patch on its throat and breast, a characteristic feature of the female bird (Grimmet, et al)
