Asian Desert Warbler

The Asian desert warbler is 11.5–12.5 centimetres long, one of the smallest warblers. The pale plumage is sandy above, with ochre fringes to the tertials and greater coverts. The tail is conspicuously rusty brown above, with black shaft streaks on the central tail feathers and white outer feathers. The throat and underparts are white, as is the broad eye-ring, which extends as an eye-stripe to the base of the bill, and the ear coverts are light brown. The iris is yellow and the legs pale yellow-brown. (German Wikipedia, general species account)

The Asian desert warbler breeds in the deserts of central and western Asia and the extreme east of Europe, from the Volga Delta area east to western Inner Mongolia, and migrates in winter to similar habitats in southwestern Asia, from Arabia to northwestern India, and the far northeast of Africa along the Red Sea coast. Until recently it was treated as the same species as the African desert warbler. (Wikipedia, general species account)
