Tytler's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri) is a songbird species. Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae. It is found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and India. It passes through the Western Himalayas to winter in southern India, particularly in the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It breeds in the Northwestern Himalayan region and is suspected to breed in the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas. The name commemorates the British naturalist Robert Christopher Tytler.
In museum specimens, the thin bill is clear and there is a long exposed nasal groove along the bill. The rictal bristles are short and few and the feathering at the base of the beak is reduced giving a very pointed face profile. The lower mandible is not flesh coloured in tytleri as in most trochiloides and it is not dark black as in Phylloscopus collybita tristis. They do not have any wing bars. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tytler's Leaf-Warbler sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 221st most-seen of the 236 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 Tytler's Leaf-Warbler in Pune 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 Tytler's Leaf-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 cities where we can rate Tytler's Leaf-Warbler sightings, Pune has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tytler's Leaf-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Pune (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.
