Chiffchaff Confirmation – Stockholm Archipelago (1 Viewer)

Macswede

When I was watching this (silent) bird I was convinced it was a Chiffchaff but I've mixed up Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers frequently in the past that I'd like some confirmation that I've finally learned to tell the difference.
I got the impression of a small greyish warbler with dark legs and beak and a relatively short primary projection.
A Chiffchaff was confirmed in the same spot a little later though to be fair a Willow Warbler was also hear on this island (Huvudskär)
This is a good time to see Chiffchaffs in Sweden as the much commoner Willow Warblers have just begun to arrive.
