Hello
I photographed this little warbler in the Singapore Botanical Garden 6 november 2022. I think it's a Pale-legged Leaf Warbler. What do you think ?
I don't remember if it's the same bird but I think so.
Thanks in advance

It is one or other of the Arctic Warbler complex, note short P1 i.e <PC. Otherwise, PLLW/SLW's have a darker crown and different tone to upperparts, bill is typically darker with pink-based lower mandible and very pale legs are flesh-coloured, not yellow/orange toned as the OP.

Pale-legged is very rare this far south with a sole record in Singapore, Sakhalin is the more regular, its precise wintering range is still unknown. Pale-legged Leaf Warbler
