Western Subalpine Warbler (Curruca iberiae)
About the Western Subalpine Warbler
The western subalpine warbler (Curruca iberiae) is a small Sylviidae warbler which breeds in the southernmost areas of Europe and north-western Africa. Like most Curruca species, it has distinct male and female plumages. The adult male has a grey back and head, brick-red underparts, and white malar streaks ("moustaches"). The female is mainly brown above, with a greyer head, and whitish below with a pink flush. The subalpine warbler's song is fast and rattling, and is similar to the lesser whitethroat.
