Abu Simbel, 30.3.17 (1 Viewer)

Difficult pictures to be sure. To me it looks more like a Lesser Whitethroat. Too short tailed, bill too weak...
 
I would go for Eastern Orphean over Lesser Whitethroat - bill looks quite chunky and obviously two-tone - but does Arabian Warbler have to be considered as well ?

As far as I know, it's only found in the Gebel Elba area way to the east of Abu Simbel, near the coast.
