Bianchi's Warbler

Phylloscopus valentini (Hartert, EJO, 1907)

Bianchi's Warbler, Phylloscopus valentini, is a leaf warbler that breeds in central and south-eastern China and northern Vietnam, and winters in southern China and north-eastern Asia. It belongs to the family Phylloscopidae and was described by Hartert in 1907. It was once treated as part of the broader Old World warbler group, and it had also been placed in Seicercus before the genera were combined under Phylloscopus. The species name commemorates the Russian ornithologist Valentin Lvovich Bianchi.
