Wikipedia Abstract

Menetries's warbler or Ménétries's warbler (Sylvia mystacea) is a small passerine bird of Southwest Asia belonging to the genus Sylvia. The name of the species commemorates Édouard Ménétries, the French zoologist who described the species in 1832. It is closely related to the Sardinian warbler (Sylvia melanocephala) of the Mediterranean basin and is similar to it in appearance.
