Santo thicketbird

The Santo thicketbird is a bird species. It used to be placed in the "Old World warbler" family Sylviidae, but it does not seem to be a close relative of the typical warblers; it belongs in the grass warbler family, Locustellidae. It is found on the Pacific Ocean island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu.
The Santo thicketbird is around 16.5 cm long, a slender bird with long legs and a long tail.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or [tropical moist lowland forest] and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
It used to be considered conspecific with the New [Britain thicketbird] and the Bougainville thicketbird.
