I'm not sure about this, it doesn't look right for Lesser or Common, but maybe it's just me. The head looks like a Lesser, but the plumage is wrong, or is it?

Thanks

Distant, so a heavy crop.

Having a rethink... I was thinking Lesser, but I'm not completely sold.

No rufous patch on tertials or wings, neat grey hood, distinct white eyering and slightly Phylloscop - like, Lesser Whitethroat IMO.

My first thought was Lesser.

I think my doubt lay with the common/lesser & juvenile/adult segregation.
