Cettia major (Moore, F, 1854)
Cettiidae — Cettia Bush Warblers & Allies
Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler, Cettia major, is a warbler of the Oriental Region, breeding in the Himalayas and central China. It belongs to the family Cettiidae and was described by Moore in 1854. It is separated from the Chestnut-headed tesia by around five million years of evolution. Its overall population has not been measured, and it is in decline because habitat loss is affecting it. The decrease is not rapid, and it is assessed as least concern.
