Hi

Can anyone help out in identifiying this species? I posted it as a Eastern Olivaceous Warbler but may be wrong.

Picture is available here. Hope the details are sufficient.

Thanks,
Tord

Not an Eastern Olivaceous. A Subalpine I think.

The bird is too colourfull for any Acrocephalus/Iduna/Hippolais.

I agree on juvenile Subalpine warbler.

Hi,

Thanks all for kindly helping out.

The photograph does not resemble any of the the illustrations I have in my bird field books though. Eyes and throat look quite different.

However when looking up the species in Birdforum Opus I notice there is a photograph of an immature individual on display, which strongly resembles my photograph.

I will update my post.
