Sulphur-breasted Warbler, and has more rounded wings. The plumage is almost identical, with comparisons showing only a slightly colder yellow below and a greyer tinge above. Although smaller, the bill is proportionally larger than that of the Sulphur-breasted Warbler. Accurate measurements are not available; the holotype has a wing length of 5.2 centimetres (2.0 in); the paratype a tail length of 3.7 centimetres (1.5 in) and a bill length of 1.39 centimetres (0.55 in).

"Initially, the bird was identified as a Sulphur-breasted warbler, in itself an interesting finding, since it was apparently breeding more than 1000km south of its previously known breeding areas in China," he said. "Later, it was realised that its songs differed markedly from the songs of the Sulphur-breasted warbler, and further studies were undertaken," he added. More

from those of the Sulphur-breasted warbler," says Professor Alstrom. DNA analyses also suggest that it is more closely related to the Yellow-vented warbler (Phylloscopus cantator) from eastern Himalayas, northern Laos and adjacent part of China, which is quite different in plumage. More

DNA analyses also suggest that it is more closely related to the Yellow-vented warbler from eastern Himalayas, northern Laos and adjacent part of China, which is quite different in plumage. “Leaf warblers and many other warblers are renowned for being very similar-looking, while having distinct vocalisations, so it is very likely that other new species of warblers will be discovered,” said Professor Alstrom.

the sulphur-breasted warbler, but ornithologists began to question that assumption when the bird produced a call significantly different from the sulphur-breasted's. Forgotten Species: the haunting whistle of the Anjouan scops-owl (12/03/2009) I know a two-year-old who is already an owl expert. My friends' daughter, Harper, can identify all of North America's owls by photos or drawings; even more impressive she can identify them by call. There is one owl call, however, that she may never hear. More

similar Sulphur-breasted Warbler (Phylloscopus ricketti), which breeds in China and winters in Southeast Asia. For example, Robson’s Birds of Southeast Asia (2005) includes the following description in the Sulphur-breasted Warbler account: “Adult population (C Laos, C Annam): Perhaps paler yellow, greyer above, narrower crown stripe, slightly bigger bill. … Residents give quicker, slower-ended .” In the abstract of the new paper, Alström et al.
