Overview
The Dalat bush warbler (Locustella idonea) is a songbird species. Formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, it is now placed in the newly recognized family Locustellidae. It was until recently considered a subspecies of Locustella mandelli and the name "russet bush warbler" was applied to the entire species complex. After this was split up, "Dalat bush warbler" was proposed.
