Can this be an Arctic Warbler?  Thank you.

No, I don't think it can.

Apart from dumpiness and several other more sutbtle features, you can, I think, see the first of the dark, very pale edged tertials.

For me, it's a Yellow-browed.

Nice photo, but displaying far too large for me, spilling out on the right hand side.

Mike Turnbull.

Thanks, Mike.

I apologize for the size of the photo and will polish my skills on that as well. ::)
