Hume's Leaf Warbler

Phylloscopus humei (Brooks, WE, 1878)

Hume's Leaf Warbler, Phylloscopus humei, breeds in south-central and central China and spends the non-breeding season in India. It is a passerine in the leaf warbler family, first described by Brooks in 1878. This bird is a small warbler of mountain woodland, and it is especially known for its long supercilium, crown stripe and yellow-edged tertials. It is very similar to the Yellow-browed Warbler, but shows only one clear wing bar, a trace of a second, and generally duller plumage. Its lower mandible and legs are dark.
