I was photographing some pied flycatchers outside my garden yesterday and got this bird as well. The nearest I get is a Melodious Warbler - but they should have gone from here about two weeks ago.

Looks better for Willow Warbler to me. I guess they'll be migrating through now.

Thanks; flatter head and the eye stripe. I've never seen a WW before but our local bird bible, Les Oiseaux de la Drôme, says that now is the peak time for the autumn migration of them through here.

Another vote for Willow Warbler.
