Hi all, is this a juvenile Chiffchaff please ? Seen in Mid Wales July. Thanks

Hello,

yes its a Chiffchaff for me too. Clear Green hues are good for this and 4 emerginations exclude similar Willow Warbler.
Its a moulting bird and I think I can detect some worn flight feathers, so an adult bird?
But better wait for others to comment on age. Thanks!

What about the leg colour? For me, on the second photo, the legs look quite pale, light, which would make this bird a willow warbler. Maybe it's a short-winged willow warbler female?

Leg colour isn't a robust character for these 2. Primary emarginations and projection are better
