The russet bush warbler (Locustella mandelli) is a songbird species. Formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, it is now placed in the newly recognized family Locustellidae. B. mandelli was until recently considered a subspecies of B. seebohmi, and the name "russet bush warbler" was applied to the entire species complex. After this was split up, Benguet bush warbler was proposed as a new name for B. seebohmi proper. The species is found in southeast Asia.
The scientific name commemorates the Italian naturalist Louis Mandelli. Wikipedia →

Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Russet Bush-Warbler in Tuen Mun on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Russet Bush-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tuen Mun, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Russet Bush-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Tuen Mun (6 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.
