Description : The Western Crowned Warbler is a small grey-green passerine, relatively large for a leaf warbler (length 10 cm, weight 8.4 g, wing 6.3 cm, bill 1.4 cm, tarsus 1.8 cm, tail 5 cm). The upperparts are light greyish-green with a grey nape, the wings have greenish fringes, and show two narrow white wing-bars on the greater and median wing-coverts. The head has a set of faded stripes: a yellowish-grey central stripe in an olive-grey crown, a long pale yellow supercilium, and dark olive-grey lores and eye stripe. The underparts are whitish with grey earcoverts and a grey wash on the sides of the breast. It has brown irises, pale orange mouth and slaty-brown legs and feet. Its bill is bicoloured: the upper mandible is brown and the lower mandible pale orange. The male and the female look alike. It breeds in the western Himalayas in May-July. It feeds chiefly on insects.
