Thanks......, just wondered about the dark line above the eye

Hi HFC.
Agree my image & the link show the same bird, but could raise the question as to whether the link is of a Dusky.
Have put my image in Bird Forum where the debate is between Dusky & Yellow-streaked.
Apart from the eyebrow line, concern is the thickness of the bill & legs which seem to be thicker than Dusky.
Variations are more likely to happen in plumage dependent on time of year & ambiant light.
I am going to see if I can get a sound byte this weekend which might help to sort it out.
Thanks.

Thanks for the input.
Neil & I went back to the same spot this morning and whilst I didn't see the chap, heard him all around us......, no recording device but both of us agreed is definitely a "tsic" and NOT a "tac".
Conclude we are looking at a Yellow-streaked Warbler

Thanks Paul for your detailed reply.
I have amended the image in "warblers" to read "Dusky".
