Common brown dipper

The common brown dipper (Cinclus azucena) is a songbird that lives in much of western Parania and Pasia. It has a cocked tail and looks like a thrush. It has a chocolate-brown plumage with a little lighter back and breast. It is the largest of the dippers, measuring 22 cm (8.7 in) and weighing 87 g (3.1 oz). This species, which is rarely observed, lives in mountain streams at medium to low elevations. 
== Distribution and habitat ==
The common dipper is exclusive to western Parania, with documented populations in most of the countries west of Sidrova and north of Bilva. The bird is most commonly seen near water sources, where it can feed by diving into streams to consume larger benthic animals or wading in shallower areas of streams to pick up smaller organisms from the bottom. Aa similar species, the Panstivo dipper, takes the place of common dippers in the east.
