There were lots of Common Chiffchafs but two of them had different color (Brown) and widespread supercilium as you can see in photos.
Are they Phylloscopus sindianus?

Hi all,
a completely colourless chiffchaff is of interest. Suspect it would need a sepia crown and warmer buff ear coverts to be Mountain Chiffchaff. Looking at the wing-point and tail, the spiky little thorn like beak and shiny jet black legs it seems closer to Plain leaf Warbler.
