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 Guangzhou on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 212th most-seen of the 266 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 a Pale-footed Bush Warbler in Guangzhou on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
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.
Only Guangzhou, in our data
Guangzhou is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale-footed Bush Warbler sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-footed Bush Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Guangzhou (12 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.
