Neumann's warbler (Hemitesia neumanni), also known as Neumann's short-tailed warbler, is a species of bird in the family Cettiidae. It is found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Neumann's warbler was formally described in 1908 by the English zoologist Water Rothschild from specimens collected in a forested area west of Lake Tanganyika. He proposed the binomial name Sylvietta neumanni. Neumann's warbler is now placed with the pale-footed bush warbler in the genus Hemitesia that was introduced in 1948 by James Chaplin. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek hēmi- meaning "half-" or "small" with the genus Teslia that had been introduced by Brian Hodgson in 1837. The specific epithet neumanni was chosen to honour the German ornithologist Oscar Neumann. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.
Neumann's warbler is the only species in the family Cettiidae that is found in Subsaharan Africa. This warbler lives in thick undergrowth of montane forest, often near streams, in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, southwest Uganda, western... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Neumann's Warbler sighting in Nyungwe National Park on a given day, based on 241 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 73rd most-seen of the 252 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December–January
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Neumann's Warbler in Nyungwe National Park on a given day, against about 10% in March–May and August, the lowest months. Those are among Nyungwe National Park's wettest months, with about 440 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in July.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Neumann's Warbler sightings, Nyungwe National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Neumann's Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Nyungwe National Park (241 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
