Hume's Leaf Warbler or Yellow-browed Warbler? 29/4/21, Eocheongdo - South Korea (1 Viewer)

[sandwich311]

I have been looking through old photos and wondered if this is possibly a Hume's Leaf Warbler ?
Initially I marked it as a Yellow-browed Warbler as they are far and away more common in migration.
It's the 'cold' and gray overall look that has got me wondering. The legs are dark, black bill with a small area of orange at the base of the lower mandible.
Unfortunately I only have this one photo and no sound recording. Is it possible to ID without a call?

Thank you for your help

The whiteness of the wing bars (and the indistinct nature of the upper bar) and supercilium are certainly indicative. Did it call at all?

Unfortunately I don't remember. I took the photo a couple of years ago.

Hi. Yeah, as mentioned, not so prominent wing-bar, and mainly, dark bill, looks like a Hume's.

That’s great. Thanks for taking a look.

Agreed on Hume's. Yellow-browed will be a much brighter bird with prominent double wingbars.

Thanks very much for the confirmation.
