Description
The cryptic warbler is a small passerine with an olive-green back and grayish yellow underside. It has a relatively indistinctive supercilium and eyestripe. The upper bill is dark and the lower bill is pale pink. On average, adults measure 11 centimetres (4.3 in) from bill tip to the end of the tail, and weigh 8.4 grams (0.30 oz).
Range & habitat
Although found in many habitats, the cryptic warbler prefers evergreen, humid rain forest between 900–2,100 metres (3,000–6,900 ft) elevation. It can be found in the canopy and sub-canopy of trees and shrubs between 2–25 metres (7–82 ft) off the ground, with a diet consisting of insects. Its breeding season lasts from October to December.
