(Rüppell, 1840)

The Ethiopian cisticola (Cisticola lugubris) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae.

Alternate common names are Abyssinian black-backed cisticola, and winding cisticola (Ethiopian) (eBird).[2]

## Taxonomy

[edit]

The Ethiopian cisticola is monotypic.[3] This taxon was split from the winding cisticola by the IOC and HBW, as were the rufous-winged cisticola, Luapula cisticola and coastal cisticola. The Clements (2017) and Howard and Moore (2014) world lists consider these taxa as a single species, the winding cisticola C. galactotes (sensu lato).[2]

## Distribution and habitat

[edit]

This species is found in the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea.[4]

Its natural habitats are tropical seasonally wet or flooded grassland and swamps.
