[Hong Kong] Radde's Warbler???

Radde's Warbler???

Flip through some old albums and find this one interesting.
Taken on 10Feb2008 at Long Valley.
Heavy bill, supercilium kinked at rear, dull orange legs, olive upperpart.
Could expert confirm if this is a Radde's Warbler instead of Dusky Warbler?

This is a dusky, a better way to ID Radde's from Dusky is by the colour of the supercilium, where Radde's usually show yellow at the front of the supercilium and paler to the end, while Dusky shows white at the front and buffish near the end as this bird in your photo is showing.
