Description
Hume's leaf warbler is one of the smallest "Old World warblers". Like most other leaf warblers, it has greenish upperparts and off-white underparts. With its long supercilium, crown stripe and yellow-margined tertial remiges, it is very similar to the yellow-browed warbler (P. inornatus). However, it has only one prominent light wing bar, just a faint vestige of the second shorter wing bar, and overall duller colours. It also has a dark lower mandible and legs. Its song is buzzing and high pitched. The best distinction from the yellow-browed warbler is the more disyllabic call. While the eastern and western Hume's leaf warblers already show noticeable differences in mtDNA sequence and calls, their songs do not differ; they are reproductively isolated only by allopatry and not usually considered separate species.

Feeding Habits
Hume's Leaf Warbler primarily consumes insects, such as beetles, hymenopterans, moths, dragonflies, flies, bugs, aphids, and small cockroaches. Their diet also includes spiders and molluscs. They forage alone or in pairs, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks. They exhibit versatile feeding behaviors, including gleaning from foliage, hovering, and agile flight pursuit, and occasionally feed on the ground.
Habitat
Hume's Leaf Warbler's typical habitats are larch and pine forests, subalpine shrubs, and rhododendron thickets within mountainous regions. It also inhabits juniper scrub, willow areas, barberry bushes, and broadleaf woods. During migration and winter, hume's Leaf Warbler descends to lower terrains, favoring riverine woods, open dry deciduous forest, woodland, orchards, plantations, gardens, and roadside vegetation in broader geographical temperate regions.
