Koli & Patvinsuo National Parks, Finland (1 Viewer)

[Otis tetrax]

Hi all, I just photographed this bird before sunset in Koli National park in Finland. It was windy, so I could hear its call, and it was the woods near the lake. Is it a willow warbler or something else? I saw 3 birds moving along among trees. Thanks

Looks good for a juvenile Willow warbler, though unsure that you could rule out chiffchaff from these images. Arctic would (I suspect) be the only other option, which can be excluded on the shape of the supercillium and the lack of dark tip to the lower mandible.
