The buff-barred warbler (Phylloscopus pulcher) is a species of leaf warbler. It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are boreal forests and temperate forests. Small and active “Pallas’s-type” leaf warbler with a long yellow brow stripe and pale rump. Yellowish-olive overall with two tan wingbars, one much larger than the other. White outer tail feathers typically invisible when perched, but eye-catching when the bird is hovering or landing. Extremely similar to other “Pallas’s-type” warblers, but combination of orangish wingbars, weak crown stripe, and rather uniform underparts is diagnostic. Pallas’s Leaf Warbler has a brighter crown stripe, a flashier rump patch, and yellow wingbars. Buff-barred’s head can sometimes have a gray wash similar to that of Ashy-throated Warbler, but it lacks that species’ clean white brow stripe. Buff-barred is common in hilly and montane forests, often as part of mixed-species flocks; listen out for its loud “tzeet” notes and shrill buzzy trill of a song.
