Hi, taken today at RSPB St. Aidan's Nr. Leeds West Yorkshire. My 1st impressions were it's a Willow Warbler but I'm not sure regarding the very white breast and belly. Or am I over thinking it?

I think I count 3 primary emarginations which is better for willow warbler, as is length of outer primary

It's got long primaries and pale legs. Enough.

Thanks, I thought it was but then started doubting myself. Should have more faith in myself

Well it is a very nice image, even if the bird's a bit scruffy [!]
