About the White-browed Warbler
The white-rimmed warbler or white-browed warbler (Myiothlypis leucoblephara) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The white-rimmed warbler was formally described in 1817 with the binomial Sylvia leucoblephara. For a time it and a few other species were placed in genus Phaeothlypis and also in Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had assigned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The white-rimmed warbler's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, AviList, and HBW assign it two subspecies, the nominate M. l. leucoblephara (Vieillot, 1817) and M. l. lemurum (Olson, 1975). As of late 2025 the Clements taxonomy does not recognize M. l. lemurum, treating M. leucoblephara as monotypic.
This article follows the majority two-subspecies model. The white-rimmed warbler is about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long and weighs 14 to 21 g (0.49 to 0.74 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a
mostly gray head with a blackish gray stripe in the middle of the crown, a white stripe above... Wikipedia →
