It’s a Phylloscopus warbler….Chiffchaff would be my consideration.

Thanks, Ken, much appreciated! It could very well be a Chiffchaff. The bill seemed a bit long to me, so I wasn't sure. Thanks again for your feedback 👍

Hello Jose,

do you have more pictures?

Yes, in the end it will be a Chiffchaff, but head-pattern looks slightly better for Willow Warbler with paler, erased looking upper-half of the ear-coverts and more?

Hi Alexander, this is the only photo I have, unfortunately. I appreciate your thoughts, good points. Cheers.

With this pic alone I'd leave it unidentified. Head pattern looks a lot like in Willow Warbler and wings look long enough. But I can't conclusively eliminate Chiffchaff.

I hope the trip to Aqaba was enjoyable and that there were many interesting birds to see.

Yes, thanks! The trip to Jordan was great, though it was back in 2017! Aqaba and the surrounding areas has some great birding spots with plenty to see.
