3 birds in Shanghai inc Mugimaki Flycatcher ?

1. Please note that one of the warbler's was kindly ID'd by Larry Wheatland earlier as an Eastern Crowned Warbler - I have reposted it here for comparative purposes with another very similar warbler that however has 2 bands on the coverts instead of 1 and also lacks the median crown stripe of the ECW that can be seen in the first photo. Can anyone ID it ?

2. Also please confirm my ID of the Mugimaki Flycatcher ?

3. One from a couple of weeks ago that I think is a Yellow Breasted Bunting or not ? I'm sure someone corrected this but I can't find the thread now !

Thank you !

3 & 4 look to be Mugimaki Flycatchers.
5 is perhaps a 1st year male Yellow-breasted Bunting.

I'd say..
1. Arctic Warbler (perhaps Eastern Crowned)
2. Yellow-browed Warbler?
3+4. Mugimaki Flycatchers
5. Black-faced Bunting

Many thanks to Steve, BH2 and John !

Yes I thought I had John but couldn't find it and hadn't labelled the shots (lesson learned)- hadn't quite got used to the forum mechanics. Thanks again !
