The song of the Stub-tailed Bush Warbler (C. [Urosphena] squameiceps) is a thin, cicada-like series of notes (Dement'ev and Gladkov 1954, Yamashina 1961); that of the Bornean Short- tailed Bush Warbler (C. [U.] whiteheadi) a long drawn-out squeak (Smy- thies 1960); that of the Pale-footed Bush Warbler (C. [U.] pallidipes) a loud rip.
The songs of C. diphone and the Strong-footed or Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler (C. fortipes), however, conclude with a warble closely resembling that of P. annae or V. ruficapilla.

Over an hour later and several brief glimpses of a small brownish bird darting around a few centimetres off the ground in the dense shrubbery, calling loudly all the time, we decided that this was probably as good a view as we were going to get.
