The Rufous-faced Warbler is a small, rather drab warbler with a distinctive rufous face and dark eyestripe. It is a skulking bird of dense scrub and undergrowth.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense scrub, bamboo, and forest undergrowth, often near water, across parts of the Himalayas and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive song, often a rapid, high-pitched trill. Focus on dense vegetation near the ground, as it rarely perches in the open.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer).

Its rufous face, while subtle, is a key field mark that helps distinguish it from other similar-looking small warblers in its range.
