Radde's type warbler? - another try at Yellow-streaked

Radde's type warbler? - another try at Yellow-streaked

I believe this is a Radde's type warbler - is it?



If it is, is it Yellow-streaked? The bill seems abnormally long?

Photos taken on Po Toi, Tuesday 28 November.

Thanks Mike, I see what you mean.

The problem with taking photographs is you don't get to see the bird properly. But the tail doesn't look so short in these two photos and although I only looked at the bird briefly before starting to photograph, I feel sure I would have noticed a very stubby tail.

OK, thanks to both Mikes.
It seems I got the tail length all wrong.
