Looks more like a Common Chiffchaff to me.

I’d have thought impossible to ascribe from frontal shots Roland?

Hi,

Did you hear it sing? At this time (October) it's almost certain a Common Chiffchaff, Iberian migrates in September. But if a late one and it didn't sing it's almost impossible to differentiate with photos alone.

You're right of course. It is more a personal opinion than a hard fact. To me Iberian Chiffchaff just looks more like a Willow Warbler than a Common Chiffchaff. The OP does look chiffchaffish IMO.
