Buff-barred Warbler

Phylloscopus olivaceus

The Buff-barred Warbler, scientifically known as Phylloscopus olivaceus, is a small passerine bird found in East Asia. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and distinct buff-colored bars on its wings. This species is known for its distinctive song, often heard in dense forests and thickets. Buff-barred Warblers are insectivorous and forage actively in foliage, using their slender bills to capture insects. They breed in mountainous and forested areas, and migrate to lower elevations in winter. Although not currently listed on the IUCN Red List, their populations may be affected by habitat loss and degradation.
