Warbler id - Po Toi

Warbler id - Po Toi

Saw this warbler in Po Toi on Sunday. First thoughts were of a Two-barred Greenish Warbler, but the behavior was similar to the Blyth's complex (flicking regularly its wings while jumping along the tree branches).

Would it be a reguloides?

Thanks

Clearly very plain wings on site. Also larger than YBW

what I meant is that the bird had very plain-colored wings (no dark fringes on tertials), aside from the bands... the wings were dull green. Also, it wasn't behaving like a YBW (slower paced and "walking" more on branches).
I was with James, and it was clear to both of us that it wasn't a YBW.

Hi Jonathan,
Yellow-browed is smaller than this warbler. I was not lucky with my settings and only took three shots (and that was "the best") after observing it well...
It didn't have any contrast in its wings (usually, yellow browed has clearly defined black/white on their tertials) nor a visible crown. The overall color was dull green.
And it didn't call at all... I tried to see it again later in the day but could not find it.
I attach another picture, in case
