Phylloscopus budongoensis (Seth-Smith)
This species has been known from only a few specimens from west Kenya. In 1965, Forbes-Watson obtained 5 males and 2 females in March, and in June he obtained 2 males and 1 juvenile bird in the Kakamega Forest. The young bird has the upperparts more brownish green that the adults and has the throat and chest washed with greenish yellow. The iris is gray, compared with brown as noted for the older birds.
Weights for both males and females ranged from 7 to 10 grams. The young bird weighed 8 grams. All stomachs contained insect fragments.
