Babbler clade

The babbler clade or Old World babblers or Old World warblers is a clade of various passerine Sylvioidean birds found in the Old World. It is sister to the Acrocephalus clade.

Description
Babblers are quite varied in size with species ranging from small wren-sized birds up to others as big as small crows.

Warblers are small, slender birds have thin bills and a variety of plumages, but most are rather plain in appearance with dull browns being the dominate colour. There are exceptions, however; and a number have striking plumages, such as the Eurasian Blackcap (which is grey), Common Whitethroat and its cohorts (which are grey-brown above with white undersides:Lesser), Rueppell's Warbler (which is black and grey), Barred Warbler (which resembles a cuckoo) and Dartford Warbler (which is grey with reddish-brown underparts).
