ID please ~ warbler or flycatcher?

This bird looks to me like one of the smaller  phylloscopus warblers.

The dark markings on the throat and chin look rather odd, but the pale bill with a dark tip suggests that this a a Yellow-browed Warbler with some unusually dark feathering.
There is one phylloscopus warbler with a dark throat - Ashy-throated Warbler. However that species has a yellow belly.
