UK Juv ID?

Hi folks
Going through some of this years unsorted photos
I came across this
I thought at the time it was possibly a Juv. Blackcap?
Can anyone confirm or otherwise ID it please?

Thanks for your help
Tony

Looks more like a Garden Warbler to me.

Thanks Guys,

That's good news and a tick for me!
I really had no idea and only thought Blackcap
because there was an adult around

Many thanks
Tony

A juv Blackcap would show a brown crown similar to the female.
