Description

Hume's Warbler is resemble the Yellow-browed Warbler with which was formerly treated as conspecific; but slightly larger and much dimmer colored. The general impression of the less contrast bird; the dark colors are lighter and the light colors are darker than on the Yellow-browed Warbler. Upperparts are more grayish-green; the light supercilium often extends on the fore and connects in front of eyes. The supercilium is buffier and less whitish than on Yellow-browed Warbler. The flight feathers are greyish not blackish. Tertials are less strikingly pale-edged, while tips to greater coverts form only obvious white wing-bar, giving the impression of a bird with only one wing-bar. Median-covert bar is shorter and slightly expressed than in Yellow-browed warbler, since the tips to these feathers are light grey-green or yellowish-green, not whitish as in Yellow-browed warbler. The 2nd primary is usually shorter than 7th one.
