Hi, sorry I can't help but hopefully Picidae will be along soon and will be able to help as they are very good with the warblers, good luck. a sad find none the less

But I hate looking at dead birds!

This time of year and depending on your location, vagrant warblers need to be ruled out - however, the obvious yellow super extending well towards the ear coverts, combined with obvious eyestripe extending to dark lores, along with even yellow tones on upper/lower breast seems to rule any possible vagrants out and points to a 1cy Willow Warbler (sadly!).

(Also hate to add that if you found it outside the Conservatory, it might well be a victim of a window strike)
