Alström's Warbler

Phylloscopus soror (Alström & Olsson, 1999)

Alström's Warbler, Phylloscopus soror, is a leaf warbler that breeds in central and south-eastern China and moves to northern parts of south-east Asia outside the breeding season. It was described in 1999. It is associated with temperate forest, especially mature evergreen broadleaf woodland with thick undergrowth, and it also uses bushes and small trees in recently cleared areas. In the breeding season it is found in low, dense forest growth. It was formerly placed in Seicercus.
