Last week I was in north of Iran where there are many Olive gardens.
I saw and searched this warbler for 1 hour but I couldn't take a photo,
It's a chicken and its parents to feed it and they were in Olive tree.

I know It's difficult to identify by these photo , but you may have a key

Thank you in advance.

From what I can see it looks like a Hippolais Warbler to me, without better shots I can’t suggest a more definitive ID?

Cheers

Pretty certain its a Hippolais and clearly a juvenile. The fact that its in olives, Eastern Olivaceous seems the most likely but not possible to ID with certainty given the images.

Huge bill strongly suggests EOW. It's way out of range for Sykes's, so not sure what else it could be. Did you note any calls?

Thank you for your comment, sorry the call was like a juvenile and I couldn't distinguish.

If it's in an Olive tree, it must surely be an Olive-tree Warbler? :king:
