Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Passeriformes > Parulidae > Oreothlypis > Oreothlypis superciliosaOreothlypis superciliosa (Crescent-chested Warbler)Synonyms: Parula superciliosa; Vermivora superciliosa superciliosa Language: Spanish The crescent-chested warbler (Oreothlypis superciliosa) is a small New World warbler. It is common throughout its montane range, from northern Mexico to northern Nicaragua. It shows an affinity for oaks. The crescent-chested warbler is superficially similar to both the northern parula and the tropical parula, with yellow underparts, a gray head, and a greenish back, but neither of these has a bold white eyebrow. Adult males have a discrete chestnut crescent on the breast, which is less prominent and sometimes lacking in females and young birds. |
