可能是黑眉柳鶯?

Probably, Sulphur-breasted Warbler?

I found it and a bird wave just before Picnic Site No.8.
It liked staying on top of trees.

Other birds there were:
Huet's Fulvetta 6
Rufous-capped Babbler 3
Arctic Warbler
Fork-tailed Sunbird

I think this is a sulphur-breasted warbler, certainly very similar to birds on OBC images. I looked at the Hartert's LW images and they are distinctly duller and slightly heavier billed.

Good find, well done.
