might this be a yellow-browed instead?  difficult to tell color of the legs as there is a strong reflection ..

this was taken last weekend on Poi Toi, .. they look very similar to me ..

The first bird (which I saw if this was taken at the upper reservoir) I believe is a Two-barred Greenish Warbler. Note the the long bill, almost entirely pale lower mandible and two wingbars. There was also a Pale-legged Leaf Warbler in this area as well.

The second bird looks more like Yellow-browed. The bill is short and appears to be rather dark on the lower mandible.

I think the first one is very likely the Two-barred greenish Warbler that seems to be present on the Island and the other one a Yellow-browed Warbler.

Thank you, gentlemen.
By the way, the bird was seen near the school.
