Some kind of warbler?

[hs1685]

Please can someone tell me what this is... shot at Minsmere, but I can't figure it out from my bird book. Any advice gratefully received

It might be a whitehtroat but I'm not sure if common or lesser, if I had to guess I'd say lesser based on it not looking like the common whitethroat's I've seen recently.

But I'm not sure it isn't too pale on its underside to be either of those.

Someone will know!

It's a Common Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat has darker ear coverts and colder brown wings

cheers, John

Nice one John, I got as far as Whitethroat too but that id tip will be useful for the future.

Thanks!
