Eastern Orphean Warbler (Sylvia crassirostris)

This little cutie dropped into our boat for a rest and feed up on dragonflies and moths. Apparently only the 2nd for Romania. Glad it chose our ship :). Superficially very similar to Lesser Whitethroat this 1st winter female had me wondering until I saw its streaked under tail coverts.
