Thomas -
 
Nice photos.  
 
However, this bird is a Pale-legged/Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, not Arctic. I think it's the same bird I saw at Mai Po on September 17th also, near the Brown-chested Flycatcher site??
 
Why is it Pale-legged/Sakhalin Leaf Warbler & not Arctic?
Well, your photo shows the key points..
 
Grey crown contrasting with greener mantle & wings
 
Double wing-bar
 
Shortish dark bill
 
Very pale legs
 
This combination of features is not shown by Arctic Warbler.

Gray, David,

These are two different birds (note the lack of a median covert wing bar on the top bird).  The leg colour on the top bird is wrong for PLLW, it looks like an Arctic W to me.

Oops - I didn't really look at the top photo and based my observations solely on the second shot!!

Paul,
 
  I agree for your ID because it may maxed with Arctic W.
