Warbler identification needed, from Red Hills (W.Ghats) near Ooty, Southern India (1 Viewer)

James Williams

Well-known member
Can anyone please identify the attached warbler for me? I was wondering if it is a Tytlers leaf-warbler? Though there were quite a lot of them hopping around the tea plantations, and I was thinking that Tytlers may be more unusual hence it may well be a more common warbler?

By the way I took the photo just over a week ago, in tea plantations in Red Hills which is a beautiful and unspoilt place around 90 minutes drive south of Ooty in Tanil Nadu, Southern India.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Hi James

Bit of a strange looking bird. Think it might be Tickell's Leaf Warbler ( Yellowish supercilium, throat and breast and pale bill ) rather than Tytler's.
