no andy (hurley), a melodious would show a yellowish cast to underparts and a broad yellowish lore producing a more 'open face'. i agree on isabelline warbler.

Andy, these are different names for the same species Iduna opaca.

And also formerly as Hippolais opaca. And also, before splitting, as Hippolais pallida. So three Latin names and two English names. Easy!!
