Bird for ID please

[GTH]

This bird flew into the garden with a mixed flock when the Longtail tits arrived for their daily bath. Is it a Spotted fly catcher..or something else ? Any help would be appreciated.



Many thanks,

Geoff

I wondered if the legs were too dark for Common Whitethroat.

Thanks for that Mike...I can now see why you say that...It`s always more difficult when they are wet.....and thanks for the kind compliment. This is the first time we`ve had a Whitethroat in our garden.

Many thanks..and Kind regards,

Geoff

I also wondered about the legs, but other than a whitethroat I can not come up with any thing else and apart from legs dos look like one

So I guess that the consideration is whether anything could look quite like a whitethroat (apart from the leg colour), but perhaps be a lesser species not the common one...

Having looked around I think this could be a Garden Warbler. Can anyone verify this ?

Is a Common Whitethroat
