Davison's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus intensior) or the white-tailed leaf warbler, is a

Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler
" assemblage.

It is found in the

montane forest
.

A species from

trinomial name Phylloscopus davisoni intensior.[3] The taxa disturbans, ogilviegranti and klossi were found to form a clade that is sister to P. hainanus. Since ogilviegranti was the first described of the three members of the clade it was elevated to a species and the two others made into subspecies since the sequence differences were small.[4] A study of the mitochondrial DNA sequences and calls suggested that davisoni in the strict sense was a sister of Seicercus xanthoschistos.[5][6] This left the form intensior which was unrelated and was then elevated as a full species and a second subspecies was added to it, P. i. muleyitensis (Dickinson & Christidis, 2014).[7]
