The '''forest owlet''' (''Heteroglaux blewitti'') is a species of [[owl]] found in several places within the Indian subcontinent. Originally known from seven specimens collected in the late-19th century, the species was rediscovered in 1998; its fragmented and scattered population has placed it among the critically endangered by the IUCN.
==Range and habitat==
The bird has been seen to date in five areas in north-central India, the largest of which is to the east of Burhanpur; four smaller areas exist west to near Mumbai.
