Any Ideas?

As you can see my photographic skills are still way short of the mark!

Any ideas on the identification of this bird taken in Saudi Arabia yesterday?

I would guess it's a chiffchaff, but could be anything really. Almost certainly a phylloscopus warbler though.

Good work - I tought it might cause a bit more confusion than that. Anyway it is a Chiffchaff which is a reasonably common winter visitor and passage migrant through Saudi Arabia with the first passage migrants passing through at the moment.
