The red-winged grey warbler (Drymocichla incana) is a small to medium size bird in the family Cisticolidae that is native to Central Africa.

The red-winged grey warbler was formally described and illustrated in 1881 by the German ornithologist Gustav Hartlaub based on five specimens collected in northern Uganda by the naturalist Emin Pasha.

[5] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that the red-winged grey warbler is most closely related to the white-chinned prinia in the genus Schistolais.

[6] The red-winged grey warbler is around 13 cm (5.1 in) in length and weighs about 10 g (0.35 oz) making this a small to medium sized bird.

[1] It is found moist in savannas and swampy tropical regions of Central Africa, particularly Cameroon, Nigeria, and Uganda.

[7] This species boasts a vast and varied geographic range, and according to the criteria for evaluating vulnerability, it does not meet the threshold for concern.

While its extent of occurrence spans less than 20,000 km2, these birds do not exhibit any other indicators of vulnerability, such as shrinking or irregular range size, insufficient or inadequate habitat quality.
