Endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. Breeds in the western and central Himalayas. Winters primarily in southern India. Only leaf warbler other than Tickell’s Leaf Warbler to regularly participate in mixed-species foraging flocks in southern India. Similar to Blyth’s Leaf Warbler, but is less yellow and can be distinguished by its paler crown, more elongated appearance, and song.
