Identification South Downs England (1 Viewer)

Hi

Can anyone help me with identification of the attached bird. Pictures taken in a small wooded area on the South Downs in West Sussex on 28th March. Sorry, very poor light for the second picture.

I have seen a Yellow-browed Warbler before and this bird seemed to have much brighter colours.

Thanks

That would be a chiffchaff.

Thanks Guys - I had ruled out the Chiffchaff because of the level of yellow on the bird. I will have to get the coloured pencils out and correct my guidebook!
