Phylloscopus castaniceps

The Chestnut-crowned Warbler, Phylloscopus castaniceps, presents itself as a charming member of the leaf warbler family, Phylloscopidae. This small bird is adorned with a distinctive chestnut crown, as its name suggests, which is a key feature setting it apart from its kin.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify this species, one should look for the characteristic chestnut crown atop its head, which is a defining trait. The bird's overall plumage is a blend of subtle greens and yellows, allowing it to meld seamlessly with the foliage it frequents.

Habitat

The Chestnut-crowned Warbler is known to inhabit subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, as well as subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. These verdant environments provide the perfect backdrop for this arboreal creature.

Distribution

Behaviour

The Chestnut-crowned Warbler is primarily insectivorous, flitting through the canopy in search of its next meal. It is not considered migratory but may exhibit small seasonal movements, possibly venturing to different elevations in search of optimal conditions.
