The two-barred warbler (Phylloscopus plumbeitarsus) is a bird of the leaf warbler family (Phylloscopidae). The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1861. It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is closely related to the greenish warbler, to which it was formerly considered conspecific.
It is found in northern Mongolia, Manchuria and southern Siberia. They are a migratory species. Before the autumn migration, both adults and juveniles molt. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Two-barred Warbler sighting in Hanoi on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 67th most-seen of the 97 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Two-barred Warbler in Hanoi on a given day, against under 5% in February–August and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Hanoi's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 320 mm in August.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Two-barred Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Two-barred Warbler sightings, Hanoi has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Beijing (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Two-barred Warbler that you can see in Hanoi (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Yellow-browed Warbler (about 60%), Dusky Warbler (about 30%) and Eastern Crowned-Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Two-barred Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Hanoi (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.
