The large-billed leaf warbler (Phylloscopus magnirostris) is a species of migratory leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae) found in Asia. This is a somewhat large leaf warbler with a single wing bar and a prominent yellowish-whitesupercilium. A contrasting broad and dark eye stripe extending behind the eye, a large darkish upper mandible and a distinctive call set it apart from most other leaf warblers in its range. It has a dark crown and greyish ear-coverts. It can be confused with an Arctic warbler. Breeding in central China and the Himalayas, it winters in Sri Lanka, the Western Ghats and associated hill ranges. Wikipedia →
