It's a Phylloscopus, probably Chiffchaff.

I don't doubt you but I thought Chiffchaff had a yellow stripe over the eye. I have other pictures of this bird with no eye stripe and long primary projections.

If you have other pictures showing this bird in a different light, in different poses, or different parts of it, it would be great if you could post them too. Identifying a bird from a single photo can be very tricky, and it would be nice if those asking for help gave those helping as much assistance as possible by posting a range of images.

Thanks for the advice so far and sorry that I only posted the one photo, I was in a rush last night. I am attaching the 4 reasonable pictures that I have of it. If it helps it was flying between reeds and the purple flowers near water.

Do these poorer pictures help at all ?
