Warbler, Somerset 11th April 2021 (1 Viewer)

Just a newb looking for some help. I can see this is a warbler but I am unsure of myself as to which.

Seen today (Somerset, UK) building a nest in shrubbery at the base of a tree just above a stream. My initial guess was Willow, but I realise they can be mistaken for Chiffchaff. Photos taken at max zoom on an old bridge camera and then cropped on PC to post (I am still getting to grips with using it) so apologies for the lack of clarity....

From what I can on this, I’d go with Chiffchaff.

Cheers

Another vote for chiffchaff, dark legs make willow seem less probable.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the input.

What threw me was that this was a lot paler and less olive/light brown underneath than the chiffchaffs I see, and also the stripe above the eye was clearer and a bolder yellow, much more striking than the chiffchaffs I've been seeing. I think camerawork is so poor as to not give a good impression.
