I would say Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler.

The breast and throat appear rather buffy rather than white and the eyeline appears rather weak--both not suggestive of Manchurian Bush Warbler.  

Some Brownish-flanked Bush Warblers can appear rather reddish as this photo shows.

Yet if it was that large that would be wrong for Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler.

Usually I expect the eye-stripe to be more blackish on Manchurian Bush Warbler but it can be brownish too. When I first thought Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler, I didn't read the description of the size. I do agree that size would eliminate Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler something that is clear in the field but we can't judge in photos.
