White-browed tit-warbler

Ophrysia superciliosa

The White-browed tit-warbler (Ophrysia superciliosa) is a small passerine bird found in the high-altitude forests of the Himalayas and parts of Central Asia. It is known for its distinctive white eyebrow stripe and olive-green plumage. This species is highly active and agile, often foraging for insects and small invertebrates in the dense undergrowth. The tit-warbler's melodious song is a characteristic sound in its habitat, especially during the breeding season. Despite its small size, this bird plays a significant role in the ecosystem as a predator of various forest insects. However, its population is currently facing threats due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
