Would experienced birders please help to identify this warbler?  Is it a Lanceolated Warbler?

Sorry that the photo cannot show the whole bird.

Yes, Lanceolated Warbler - the streaks on the upperparts and the narrow streaks on the breast are a good indication. Also not pale tips on the tail (as in Pallas's).

Don't worry about not getting the whole bird - they are so skulking that you were lucky to photograph this much!

Thank you very much, John.
