My vote goes to Arctic Warbler. Reasons are: 1. No white edge to tertials 2. Long primary projection 3. No crown stripe 4. Little contrast between crown and back 5. 1 thin wing bar Others such as creamy supercilium, strong bill, and leg colour also support Arctic Warbler. HF Cheung

Plus super not quite meeting bill in front of eye and dark patch towards end of lower mandible. This certainly is an Arctic Warbler. There seem to me (perhaps wrong) to have been rather few this year, though maybe a few more in the last few days? Great shots. Mike Turnbull
