Iberian Chiffchaff
Phylloscopus ibericus Ticehurst, 1937
Phylloscopidae — Leaf Warblers
Iberian Chiffchaff, Phylloscopus ibericus, breeds in south-west France, Portugal, Spain and north-west Africa, and spends the non-breeding season in western Africa. It is a leaf warbler in the family Phylloscopidae and was described by Ticehurst in 1937. It is separated from the common chiffchaff by its song and by plumage that is cleaner green above, without a brown tone. The breast is yellow and the belly white, and it shows a dark eye-stripe. It is found in humid places, including riparian habitats in the south and deciduous woodland with dense undergrowth in the north.
