Hi, This photo was taken at Doi Ang Khang mount, on 23rd Dec. is this a Chinese Leaf Warbler? Pls advise ID, thanks

It looks OK - distinct crown-stripe, distinct black eyestripe and lateral crown stripe, no dark bases to the flight feathers.

Dear Andy: Thank you very much for the ID confirmation. really difficult to tell all these small warblers though comparing the photos...how come slightly blue back in the photo?, which puzzles me...
Again, thanks much

The mauve tint (blue?) that you see is a photo artefact brought about no doubt by the camera’s sensor/setting mode, in conjunction with the ambient lighting…..I think 😮

Cheers

The whole photo has a strong purple cast, which you would be better to correct before making any judgements about colour.
