Emei Leaf Warbler at Ng Tung Chai

Why isn't this a Yellow-browed Warbler? The structure, pattern and bare part colouration as shown on the photos seems to me to fit, and it is of course far more likely in HK than Emei Leaf.

From my past experience (at Ba Bao Shan) I remember Emei Leaf seeming more like a larger Phyllosc, very similar to Blyths/Goodson's. I would also not expect it to be active in treetops or to show an indistinct crown stripe.
