Is it really a yellow-browed Warbler?
Yellow-browed Warbelr should show a black tip on the lower mandible.

Hi Gary,

Warbler is quite difficult to identify, please let me know which kind of Warbler it is ?

By the way, the link below seem to be the same kind of warbler which I took in Chine.

Your picture from Wong Shan is Blyth's Leaf Warbler. It is too big for YBW and you can see there is no spot on the underside of the bill, as Gary says.

Also on the second pic you can see that there is a yellow stripe on top of the crown.

Blyth's Leaf Warbler should be breeding in SE China at this time also. HKBWS records include Wuyi Shan and Ba Bao Shan

Cheers

Thank you Mike & Gary
for your detail explanation and pointing out the important differences between Yellow-browed and Blyth's Leaf Warbler.

Much appreciated
