The Rufous-faced Warbler is a small passerine bird found in the eastern Himalayas and parts of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive rufous face and crown, olive-brown upperparts, and pale underparts. This species is known for its skulking behavior in dense undergrowth, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. It typically builds its cup-shaped nest in low vegetation, often near water sources. The Rufous-faced Warbler is a non-migratory species and is usually found in dense undergrowth of broadleaf evergreen forests and bamboo thickets. Its population trend is currently unknown, and it is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
