I opted for Chiffchaff as it looks more dumpy, less yellow + most importantly appears relatively short-winged. Willow Warbler as a long distance migrant has noticeably longer wings on a perched bird. |

Yes, reed bunting, dunnock and probably chiffchaff (legs look dark to me, but of course the old 'pin' colour is not a guarantee).
