Agree with Sardinian Warbler (note the red orbital ring and concolorous wing with mantle among other things)

I see white orbital ring...

You don’t see a Sard? What do you think it is then?
(the orbital ring looks pinkish on my monitor)

It's not white but it's not red either on my screen, a very feint pinkish I'd say?

It’s generally described as ‘red’ so force of habit but in reality, females have a much rosier subdued colour than the males. However, this could be a juvenile on closer inspection

My first impresion was Spectacled Warbler with that darker blue near the base of the bill and the white orbital ring (all of this through the screen of my mobile). Now, I'm looking at it in my computer and I still looking at a dirty white, at least, in the part above the eye...:-C
White looks like highlight. If you look at the lower part it appears more obviously pinkish. Given the surrounding colours I think it's unlikely this is just a colour cast

Not that the OP seems interested in still getting an ID (or even remembers his thread!) but it could be highlight although if you check the Opus link I posted above, the orbital ring in juveniles is pinkish and the eye-ring more buff white.

The orbital ring and the eye ring are separate features. (The latter indeed whiter than the former)
when I am referring to the ‘orbital ring’ it is the one inside the ‘eye-ring’, ie the immediate surround of the eye. Perhaps there is some confusion of the topography here!
