It is a plain prinia 褐頭鷦鶯.

HiGriffin

Nice pic.

Lynx is right -this a Plain prinia - you can tell by the very long tail. Dusky has a much shorter tail and a stronger supercilium.

Cheers

Thanks everyone for correcting me. Prinia and warblers are one of the many areas I have to work harder on. :D

BTW, I heard one that day, I whistled in an attempt to lure it out. Turned out there were at least 4 inside that bush...
