Timor Leaf Warbler
Phylloscopus presbytes (Blyth, 1870)
Phylloscopidae — Leaf Warblers
Timor Leaf Warbler, Phylloscopus presbytes, is a passerine in the leaf warbler family and occurs in Australasia on Timor and Atauro in the eastern Lesser Sundas. It was first described by Blyth in 1870. The species is closely allied to the Rote Leaf Warbler. Two subspecies are recognised, one from Timor and one from Flores, though the Flores form has sometimes been treated as a separate species. The two forms are alike in plumage and vocalisations, with only modest differences in mitochondrial DNA.
