Warbler

Description:

Small bird sitting very high up in the tree. It was flitting about restlessly and always hiding strategically behind the leaves. I can only see a white " eyebrow" over the eyes and a touch of yellow at the throat. Thin pointed beak; appears black

Habitat:

Eco resort at Belun village near Katwa, West Bengal. Unkempt garden...lots of land with minimal interference. Many waterbodies, both natural and artificial. Some tall trees, creepers and a river in the backyard! Absolutely rural backdrop.

Notes:

The second is a heavily cropped first short for ID-ing. The last shot is to show how this bird kept hiding. I have only one usable shot but would be so grateful if someone can give me an ID. My friend thought it was a Common Iora.

Thank you, Zlatan. I was thinking Warblers too (I caught an Iora at this place too and the wing-bars are apparent.) I caught another warbler (again, just one shot) from my terrace this morning. Warbler's are difficult to ID!

To me this looks more like one of the Leaf warblers (Phylloscopus genus) - difficult to say which one, and there is huge choice of them there.
Regarding Ioras, I would expect the beak of Iora to be bigger and stronger in appearance; and there would be white bars on wings.
