Figure 8. Dusky Warbler, Phylloscopus fuscatus (1997-174), Palomarin Field Station, Point Reyes Bird Observatory, Marin County, 18 Oct 1997. Although the supercilium may be fainter in the supraloral area than is typical of this species, the small bill and narrow whitish supercilium (as well as the call) helped to eliminate similar species such as the Radde's (P. schwarzi) and Yellow-streaked (P. armandii) warblers, yet to be recorded in North America.
