And how do I differentiate between Humes Warbler, Yellow Browed Warbler, Yellow browed Tit and other leaf warblers?

Suggest Buff-barred Warbler

Except the main wing bar looks quite whitish, especially in the second image. No crown stripe is visible and the median covert tips are a bit prominent for this species. I would expect the tertian tips, on the other hand, to be more prominent. Bill looks quite long and thin but looks all-dark. I'm wondering about a worn Hume's.

Does the colour of the leg make any difference?

Agree, wing bar looks decidedly un-buff in 2nd image
