Mahatma<p>A lonely branch on the tree of life. Olive warblers are a species of new world songbird, though they aren't actually warblers. In fact, they are not only the sole member of their genus, they are also part of a monophyletic family. They aren't closely related to any other bird. Their next closest relatives, if you go back far enough, are probably the accentors, a strictly old world family that includes dunnocks.
