Rufous-faced Warbler

Horornis brunnescens

The Rufous-faced Warbler (Horornis brunnescens) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its rufous face, olive-brown upperparts, and pale underparts with streaking. This warbler is known for its distinctive high-pitched song, often heard during the breeding season. It forages for insects and spiders in the undergrowth, using its slender bill to glean prey from foliage and branches. The Rufous-faced Warbler is a shy and elusive species, often difficult to spot due to its secretive behavior. Its population status and specific ecological requirements are not well-documented, making it a species of conservation concern.
