Yellow-streaked or Radde's Warbler

18 November 2012 - Mount Davis

Watched this warbler for 10 minutes closely. No calls heard. Played recording of both Yellow-streaked and Radde's Warbler and got no response.

Bill seems quite fine and legs rather thin. Suspect it could be a Yellow-streaked based on structure, uniform buff underparts, and seems some faint hint of yellow streaks on breast in photos.

support Yellow-streaked Warbler.
The eye-brow pattern suggest either Yellow-streaked/ Radde's; and the relatively thin bill looks good for yellow-streaked.
The long eyebrow with tapered end is also favor Yellow-streaked, but this bird is notorious for being identified by observable features.

Hong Kong Bird Report 1994 has an article on identification of Yellow-streaked Warbler. You may find it useful to the identification of this bird.
