The pale-footed bush warbler (Hemitesia pallidipes) is a species of oriental warbler in the family Cettiidae that is found in southern Asia. It occurs in the Himalayan region west from Dehradun through the foothills of Nepal to northeastern India. It also occurs in Myanmar, Laos, northern Vietnam and southern China. A single sighting was recorded from Kandy, Sri Lanka in March 1993.
The pale-footed bush warbler was formally described in 1872 by the English naturalist William Blandford under the binomial name Phylloscopus pallidipes. The specific epithet pallidipes combines the Latin pallidus meaning "pale" with pes meaning "foot". This warbler is now placed in the genus Hemitesia that was introduced by James Chapin in 1948.
Three subspecies are recognised: The pale-footed bush warbler usually associates with Themeda grasslands. The habitat and altitudinal limit for pale-footed bush warbler vary slightly... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-footed Bush Warbler sighting in Chitwan National Park on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 224th most-seen of the 367 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-footed Bush Warbler in Chitwan National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Chitwan National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 660 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-footed Bush Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Pale-footed Bush Warbler sightings, Chitwan National Park has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-footed Bush Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Chitwan National Park (39 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
