Old World Warblers (Sylviidae)
Siberian Bush-warbler (Bradypterus davidi) - HBW 11, p. 602
French: Bouscarle de David
German: Davidbuschsänger
Spanish: Zarzalero de David
Other common names: Baikal/David’s Bush-warbler
Taxonomy: Tribura thoracica davidi La Touche, 1923, Chinwangtao, north-east Hebei, China.
Formerly considered conspecific with B. thoracicus, but differs vocally, morphologically and in migratory behaviour; the two probably meet each other in C China (Sichuan). Proposed race shanensis, described from specimens in non-breeding range (Myanmar), now considered to refer to suschkini, with which therefore synonymized; characters of stresemanni, described from SE Russia (Amurland), fall within range of variation of nominate. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- suschkini Stegmann, 1929 - breeds in SC Siberia from Altai E to SW Transbaikalia; non-breeding SE Asia (probably Myanmar and Thailand).
- davidi (La Touche, 1923) - breeds SE Russia (SE Transbaikalia E to W Amurland) and NE China (S to N Hubei); non-breeding SE Asia (probably N Indochina).
