Regains trochiloides, G. R. Gray, Gen. B. i. p. 175 (1848). 
Reguloides trochiloides, Blyth, Cat. B. Mus. A. S. Beng. 
p. 184 (1849). 
Abrornis trochiloides, Bonap. C. G. Ay. p. 290 (1850). 
Bill large, under mandible pale. 
Upper parts greyish brown, dashed all over with yellowish 
green. Wings and tail greyish brown, with the outside 
edge of each feather broadly margined with yellowish 
green. Superciliary streak pale yellow. 
Head darker-coloured than the back, with a distinct pale 
mesial line . 
Underparts nearly white, dashed all over, especially on the 
breast and flanks, with yellow and grey. Axillaries and 
wing-lining pale yellow. 
Third, fourth, and fifth primaries loiigest. Sixth rather 
shorter. Seventh and eighth each considerably shorter 
than the preceding. Second primary intermediate in 
length between the seventh and the eighth. 
Exposed part of bastard primary measures *55 to *65. 
First wing-bar very distinct. Upper bar less distinct. 
Length of wing—male 2’6 to 2*45, female 2*45 to 2*25. 
Length of tail—male 2T5 to 2*0, female 2’0 to 1*9. 
Legs and claws light brown. 
This species appears to have a very limited range. It is 
supposed to breed in the alpine districts of the South-east 
Himalayas, and to winter on the north and east shores of the 
Bay of Bengal. 
It is common in the breeding-seasn at Rogee and Chenee 
(Ibis, 1869, p. 458). Capt. Beavan found it at Darjeeling 
(Ibis, 1868, p. 73). Blyth says that it visits Lower Bengal in 
some abundance during the cold season (J. A. S. Beng. xxiii. 
p. 488) ; and Hume includes it in the list of birds from the 
Tenasserim provinces (Stray Feathers, ii. p. 478). 
The nest and eggs of this bird are unknown. 
This species apparently differs from the preceding only in 
being of a darker colour on the upper parts, with a more or 
less distinct upper bar across the wing, which is wanting in its 
near ally.
