Breeds in the Caucasus; winters in South Asia

The green warbler, or green leaf warbler, is a leaf warbler that breeds in the Caucasus Mountains. It is most closely related to the greenish warbler but is brighter, with much more yellow underparts, and shows one strong and one faint wing bar, especially in young birds. Its scientific name means shining. Like other leaf warblers it now belongs to the family Phylloscopidae (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached species account gives no detail of its behaviour, breeding or winter range. SoIB 2023 lists it as a winter migrant to India but gives no trend or priority (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
