Legend Overview
Introduction
The Rufous-capped Warbler is a tropical resident species, common throughout Mexico and with individuals occasionally recorded as vagrants in the southernmost states of the USA. This species has a similar facial plumage pattern to that of other Basileuterus warblers, with darker colored crown and cheeks (rufous in this species) separated by a lighter colored superciliary band (white in this case). There are currently five recognized subspecies, based mainly on subtle plumage color differences. This species can be found in dry-scrub and semi-open and second growth habitats, from sea level up to 3,000 m.a.s.l (though most commonly found above 1,000 m.a.s.l.). It has the characteristic habit of cocking tail and flicking wings.
