Rufous-faced Warbler

Pnoepyga immaculata

The Rufous-faced Warbler (Pnoepyga immaculata) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the eastern Himalayas. It is characterized by its rufous face, olive-green upperparts, and whitish underparts. This elusive species inhabits dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets in montane forests, where it forages for insects and spiders. The Rufous-faced Warbler is known for its high-pitched, trilling song that echoes through the forest understory. Due to its secretive nature, it can be challenging to observe in the wild. The species is not currently considered to be globally threatened, but its population trend is unknown.

Habitat: Montane forests and bamboo thickets
