I Just cannot identify warblers!

This was spotted around Pune, Western India.......

maybe a tickle's leaf warbler or a sulpher bellied warbler or something else!

any ideas?

Looks ok for a Greenish Warbler (long supercillium, wingbar etc). Perhaps the green/yellow tone on chest support ssp. nitidus (?).

Edit; on the other hand i just remember Arctic Warbler, but i'm not sure that species occur in India and i can't at the moment remember the features that separate Arctic from Greenish.

Yellow throat, breast and supercilium surely excludes Arctic. I'd go with nitidus too.

Green Warbler for me too.

Ok, good to know that AW don't show yellow chest. (i'd forgotten that) and i guess that you "mäkpä" by supercillium mean that AW don't show this long and broad supercill. (?)

To answer a previous question Mattias, Arctic Warbler would also be an unexpected find in that part of India.

No, i meant that Arctic Warbler doesn't have lemon yellow super as nitidus. Tones in subject bird remainds me of those in Wood Warbler. Also back has a tinge of lemon yellow mixed with green (first pic).

Now when i read you first comment again mäkpä it's even for me obvious that you meant all three yellow features :t:

Sorry, i must have been tired this morning, more than usual that is

Thanks!
