Thomas - Nice photos. However, this bird is a Pale-legged/Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, not Arctic. I think it's the same bird I saw at Mai Po on September 17th also, near the Brown-chested Flycatcher site?? Why is it Pale-legged/Sakhalin Leaf Warbler & not Arctic? Well, your photo shows the key points.. Grey crown contrasting with greener mantle & wings Double wing-bar Shortish dark bill Very pale legs This combination of features is not shown by Arctic Warbler.

These are two different birds (note the lack of a median covert wing bar on the top bird). The leg colour on the top bird is wrong for PLLW, it looks like an Arctic W to me.

Oops - I didn't really look at the top photo and based my observations solely on the second shot!! Dave

| Paul, I agree for your ID because it may maxed with Arctic W. Thomas.
