I still stand with my original thought (although Imaginos mentioned it first!), that being it's a Garden Warbler.

me too

Without wishing to be as robust as Nick, I'd like to point out that this time of year is particularly perilous for bird identification with loads of juveniles flitting about who's plumage may not reflect tha tof a typical adult. As Alan says, photos-especially on the computer-also create pitfalls to identification by mis-representing colours. Personally I think the weight of evidence points towards Garden Warbler, but I'm not going to get into an argument about it

Robust is a good word, but I prefer the term precise...

This is getting way to serious for me! I've renamed it twice, I think I'll remove it, that way no one will be offended!

By the way, I've got another one I can't id...

Neither am I! I'd love it to be either! If it's a Garden or Nightingale it's a first for me.
As for colour, all I can say is I haven't made any adjustments to the colour balance of the shot. I'd say the image as I see it on screen is just as it looked in the real world.

Thanks all of you for your efforts!

I've now changed it to Garden Warbler, the poor things all confused!
