About the Pale-footed Bush Warbler
The pale-footed bush warbler (Hemitesia pallidipes) is a species of oriental warbler in the family Cettiidae that is found in southern Asia. It occurs in the Himalayan region west from Dehradun through the foothills of Nepal to northeastern India. It also occurs in Myanmar, Laos, northern Vietnam and southern China. A single sighting was recorded from Kandy, Sri Lanka in March 1993.
The pale-footed bush warbler was formally described in 1872 by the English naturalist William Blandford under the binomial name Phylloscopus pallidipes. The specific epithet pallidipes combines the Latin pallidus meaning "pale" with pes meaning "foot". This warbler is now placed in the genus Hemitesia that was introduced by James Chapin in 1948.
Three subspecies are recognised: H. p. pallidipes (Blanford, 1872) – Himalayas to west Yunnan (south China) and north Myanmar H. p. laurentei La Touche, 1921 – central Myanmar and south east Yunnan (south China) to Vietnam
H. p. osmastoni (Hartert, E, 1908) – Andaman Islands The pale-footed bush warbler usually associates with Themeda grasslands. The habitat and altitudinal limit for pale-footed bush warbler vary slightly... Wikipedia →
