Brownish-flanked Bush-warbler (Cettia fortipes) - HBW 11, p. 593

French: Bouscarle de montagne German: Bergbuschsänger Spanish: Cetia Montano
Other common names: Strong-footed Bush-warbler

Taxonomy: Horornis fortipes Hodgson, 1845, Nepal.
May form a superspecies with C. vulcania; has been considered conspecific, but differs in vocalizations. Race robustipes often treated as a separate species, and then generally including C. acanthizoides as a race; such treatment may be appropriate, but true affinities require further consideration. Four subspecies recognized.
