Dear Jonathan

Thanks for the confirmation. It was definitely a 'yellowish' cast as opposed to 'yellow', so the common name is actually quite diagnostic. One of the most easy birds to photograph well in Wawushan as they are quite confiding, although with their harsh scolding, I felt like I was not particularly welcomed ;-).
