	HABITAT ASSOCIATIONS OF SONG CHARACTERISTICS IN PHYLLOSCOPUS AND HIPPOLAIS WARBLERS
		Most of the Phylloscopus and Hippolais warblers are poorly differentiated in plumage characteristics and morphology but show extensive variation in vocalizations, even on a subspecies level (e.g.
		Phylloscopus and Hippolais warblers of different size were equally represented across habitat types; body mass did not vary with habitat openness (Pear- son r = -0.!, P = 0.6).
		In the present study, we controlled for phylogeny and examined the effects of body mass and habitat structure on variation in song structure of 30 taxa of Phylloscopus and Hippolais warblers, which are a closely related group of birds that occupy a wide variety of habitats and show high variation in vocalizations.

	Olivaceous Warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Olivaceous Warbler, Hippolais pallida, is an Old World warbler in the tree warbler genus Hippolais.
		As a result of modern taxonomic developments, it is now usually considered to be two species, Western Olivaceous Warbler, Hippolais pallida, and Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Hippolais opaca.
		These small passerine birds are found in dry open country, including cultivation, with bushes or some trees.

	Identificacion
		In September 2002 the BOU (British Ornithologist's Union) recommended that the Olivaceous Warbler (hippolais pallida) should be splitted in two different species, bearing in mind, among other reasons, its geographical distribution.
		The Melodious Warbler (hippolais polyglotta) is the most widespread hippolais warbler in Spain, showing grayish-green upperparts and wings, and lack of the typical pale wing panel of Icterine Warbler (hippolais icterina).
		The most streaking features to separate these two hippolais are the shape and bill pattern, in Olivaceous very pale and yellowish seen from below, and much more longer and wide, which continues towards a forehead and crown flater than in Melodious, giving an expression of "big-nose".

		Hippolais pallida elaeica had been found there in similar circumstances - he might have been excused a distinct feeling of
		Hippolais warblers, but, perplexingly, none of these seemed to fit either: it was too small for Olivaceous Warbler, but also had the wrong head pattern and too large a bill for Booted Warbler
		There are some tricky birds with intermediate characters in one or a few respects.but your bird shows no hint of mixed characters”.

	Upcher's Warbler (Hippolais languida), Israel
		In the Southern Arava the species is so rare that Shirihai (1996) listed each individual spring record in 'The Birds of Israel', rather than simply calling it a scarce passage migrant.
		Variation within the different forms of Olivaceous Warbler (Hippolais pallida) can produce some bewildering examples of birds that really can resemble an Upcher's Warbler, especially if it's a bird with exaggerated tail movements.
		Careful attention to the exact tail movements, general proportions, and size comparisons where appropriate, can all be used to aid a successful identification.

		It was taken in the desert near Qatbit, Oman; no voice it was 44deg in the shade and it took everything to breath, I believe it to be Upcher's Warbler (Hippolais Languida) but Olivaceous (Hippolais Pallidais) is also a distinct possibility as they are both about at the time of year - mid april.
		The old Olivaceous Warbler - Hippolais pallida was split on the Clement's and the SM to Western Olivaceous Warbler - Hippolais opaca (monotypic) and Eastern Olivaceous Warbler - Hippolais pallida with subspecies elaeica, pallida, reiseri and laeneni.
		But, the much more authoritative Howard and Moore by virtue of the fact that some species treated in old Hippolais are more related to Acrocephalus than some of the other members of old Hippolais have place Booted Warbler, Syke's Warbler and Olivaceous Warbler into new genus Iduna.

	An influx of Upcher's Warblers - 10th May 2003
		The prolonged hot spell of eastern winds brought a major influx of Upcher's Warblers (Hippolais languida) today.
		This morning at least five were present in Neot Semadar's western fields and orchards, and this evening I found one in Ketura's experimental gardens.
		All of these were feeding on, or close to the ground, quite different behaviour to that of the many bush dwelling Eastern Olivaceous Warblers (Hippolais pallida) feeding close by.

		We discuss the evidence for unidirectional genetic introgression from the Melodious into the Icterine Warbler population as a likely explanation for this observed situation.

	OSME - Upcher's Warbler in Egypt
		Goodman & Meininger (1989) did not admit the species to the Egyptian list, since the only evidence for its occurrence was an unsubstantiated statement by Hovel (1987) that 'Upcher's Warbler is a scarce passage visitor to Sinai'.
		Size and structure A large hippolais; much larger than Bonelli's Warbler and marginally bigger than Lesser Whitethroat, with a steep forehead and crown peaking just behind the eye.
		Stocky structure similar to a sylvia, but overall appearance was typically hippolais in character, especially the elongated head and bill.

		updated 2004 has split off the once associated race opaca of Hippolais pallida and named it Western Olivaceous Warbler and has maintained race elaeica as a subspecies associated with their new Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, i.e., Hippolais pallida elaeica.
		It is not very remarkable but is a typical Hippolais.

	Olivaceous Warbler - Hippolais pallida
		At times it was remarkably elusive, remaining hidden for long periods in low bramble bushes, but was eventually seen by more than 150 birders.
		Among the Hippolais warblers, Upcher's Warbler, and both caligata and rama Booted Warbler, could be eliminated by wing length and differences in wing-formula.
		A grey-and-white' Melodious Warbler - if such birds truly occur - could, due to the close structural similarity between the species, present a serious risk of confusion, but that species lacks any conspicuous white on the outer tail feathers.

	Upcher's Warbler - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Upcher's Warbler, (Hippolais languida), is an Old World warbler in the tree warbler genus Hippolais.
		Its song is similar to that of other Hippolais warblers, but distinctive and unmistakable, and entirely different to that of the Olivaceous Warbler.
		Ehrenberg's original description of this bird was 'rather vague' and it was redescribed by Henry Baker Tristram in 1864, naming it Hippolais upcheri after his friend Henry Morris Upcher.
