Hi,

Photographed this warbler today in Shanghai. Watched for several minutes as it flicked through the leaf litter and occasionally hopped onto/perched on the base of small bushes, never getting more than about 30cm off the ground.

Despite the amount of time viewed unfortunately still crappy photos - pity didn't spend any time in the few bits of sunlit litter!

Thanks in advance
Mike

How about Pale-legged Leaf-Warbler Phylloscopus tenellipes ? The really pale legs on your bird are its most striking feature and I don't see anything against it.

I'd go along with that Steve, albeit a quite worn one

did think of pale-footed bush warbler but not on second glance
