The aberrant bush warbler (Horornis flavolivaceus) is a species in the bush warbler family, Cettiidae. It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in central and southern China, and the northern extremes of Myanmar and Vietnam. It occurs in the countries of Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam and also may occur in northeastern and southeastern Bangladesh.
The aberrant bush warbler was formally described in 1845 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth based on a specimen collected in Nepal. He placed the species in the genus Neornis and coined the binomial name Neornis flavolivacea. The specific epithet flavolivaceus combines the Latin flavus meaning "yellow" with the Modern Latin olivaceus meaning "olive-green". The aberrant bush warbler is now placed in the genus Horornis that was introduced in 1845 by Brian Hodgson.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aberrant Bush-Warbler sighting in Dehradun on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 260th most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aberrant Bush-Warbler in Dehradun on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Aberrant Bush-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Dehradun (9 verified sightings), 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.
