Hi again,

I saw this fellow last week on the Ilheu Bom Bom, just to the north of Principe Island.
It doesn't look like any of the resident species, and garden warbler seemed like the best bet, having previously been reported from São Tomé island. But, as usual, I'd appreciate the opinion of the experts.

Thanks in advance,

Thibaud

FWIW my first thought on pic. 1, seeing the extensive under tail-coverts, was "honeybird" or "honeyguide."
