Sorry for the high ISO blurred images.  Btw, can I use camera built-in flash for this occasion?

I am just an inexperienced birder/ birdwatcher/ twitcher/ photographer with no long lens.

The head pattern of these two species is sometimes similar. A good feature to look for is the underpart pattern - Tristram's has a chestnut wash to the breast and flanks with diffuse chestnut streaks (as seen here), Yellow-browed has cleaner white underparts with black streaks. Notice also the chestnut colour on the rump and tail, another good feature of Tristram's.

Thanks John for such detailed info to identify Tristram.  Will not miss that from now on.

All the best.

Eric
