Observation details

Skulky phylloscopus warbler. Small passerine of a wood warbler shape. Prominent and extensive dusky olive green color to crown, nape, back, and rump. Edges to the base of the tail feathers were prominently dusky olive green turning blackish toward the distal half. The primaries and secondaries were blackish like the tail but edged in the same olive green color as the back. The coverts appeared olive green with the greater coverts were tipped in white creating a short but visible wing bar. The face was marked by a prominent, long and well defined white supercilium separating the olive crown from a dusky ocular line running from the bill to the back of the auriculars. The lower part of the face was an uneven dingy gray color. Eye was black and subtended by a thin white arc. The bill was of moderate length with a gray upper mandible and orange yellow lower mandible and appeared slightly decurved. The underparts overall appeared to be a dull white color except for the undertail coverts which appeared to be a brighter white color insofar as they contrasted somewhat against the belly. The breast was covered by faint blurry gray streaks. There also was some smudgy gray on the flanks. In deep shade I thought the throat and breast had a very faint yellow hue though when the bird moved into brighter indirect light or open sunlight I no longer had a sense of yellow with those areas instead appearing dingy white. The legs and feet were a very drab grayish orange color.
