Whistler's warbler is a leaf warbler found in the Indian subcontinent, from the Himalayas to Myanmar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest (Wikipedia, general species account).
It was previously placed in the genus Seicercus, until a 2018 molecular study found that neither Phylloscopus nor Seicercus was monophyletic and the genera were merged. The common name commemorates the English ornithologist Hugh Whistler (1889–1943). The source read gives no plumage, size or breeding information, so none is stated.
