Title: Warbler ID pls.
Post by stanley_fok on Nov 23^rd, 2004, 12:01am

Any idea?

Was it Yellow-browed/Eastern Crowned/Blyth's Leaf/other Warbler?

Thanks in advance.

If I may guess.
From the location of the bird (not on a thick trunk, but thin twig) I think it's not likely to be a Blyth's leaf Warbler.
The rotund shape, along with the strong wingbar (the second might be obscured) may suggest Pallas' rather than Yellow-browed or Eastern Crowned. If it did hover, then going for Pallas' wouldn't be too bad if the light conditions continued to be as displayed.

The way the supercilium appears broad in front of the eye, and also appears (at least) to be yellow, strongly suggests Pallas's Warbler.

Agreed and thanks Koel and Mike for the input.
