Greenish Warbler?
As there is no pale edges to tertials, seem not to be a Yellow-browed Warbler. Is it a Greenish Warbler?

I would say that this is a Yellow-browed Warbler.
I think it does have pale edges to the tertials, and it also has a darker base to the secondaries, another good feature for Yellow-browed.

Thank you very much. Maybe I misunderstand what is tertials.

Perhaps the following has been posted somewhere on this forum already, but via the Oriental Bird Club Yahoo! Group I came upon slides on identification of Phylloscopus and Seicercus warblers:

Both can be downloaded at the bottom of Per Alström's site: [url]http://www.slu.se/per-alstrom-research.[/url]
Pages 6 and 7 show a picture of a warbler and its topography. This will be helpful to you, I guess.
