Common chiffchaff? (1 Viewer)

[Albert P]

Hi,

Photo was taken in central Germany in the end of August.

What would you say? Is that a Common chiffchaff? If so, what are the definitive characteristics in this image?

Or maybe is it a Willow warbler? Or something else?

Its a chiffchaff based on its face pattern. The most useful features - the wing length and the presennce of an emargination in the 6th primary counting from the outside are hidden behind the leaf

Agree - the legs also look dark. Usually a reliable supporting feature.
