Hi, not sure if these noisy and heavily cropped pics are going to provide a positive ID. These are the same bird, presumed immature or female Sylvia sp. seen in olives at Parque Ambiental.
A minute or so beforehand we had just seen a male Subalpine warbler, and this was more or less associating with it. My initial ID in the field was possible common whitethroat, as I thought I saw a rufous patch on the secondaries. Now I've had a better look at the photos, I'm leaning more towards immature Subalpine, as it is all looking more greyish. I've included the second pic because it shows wing detail slightly better.
