The Pale-footed Bush Warbler is a small, rather plain warbler with olive-brown upperparts and a whitish belly, distinguished by its pale legs. It is a secretive bird of dense vegetation.
Where to spot
Found in dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and scrub in forests, often near water, across parts of South and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive song, which often starts softly and builds in volume. It is very shy, so finding a good vantage point near dense thickets and waiting patiently is recommended.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer).

This warbler's legs are indeed notably paler than many similar species, a subtle but important field mark when observed well.
