Russet-crowned Warbler

Phylloscopus pulcher

The Russet-crowned Warbler (Phylloscopus pulcher) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the highland forests of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinctive russet crown. This species is known for its energetic foraging behavior, often seen flitting through the foliage in search of small insects and larvae. The Russet-crowned Warbler is a migratory species, breeding in the higher elevations of its range and wintering in lower-altitude forests. Its melodious song is a common sound in its preferred habitats, adding to the charm of these montane forests.
