lesser whitethroat (Curruca curruca)
The size of lesser whitethroat is about 13.5cm in length. In all plumages and races, a combination of dull grayish-brown upper parts (greyer on the head), diffusely darker ear-coverts, blackish legs, small bill, arboreal habits, and relatively small size is distinctive. Individually fairly variable, some having slate-grey ear-coverts and quite brown upperparts, others are more washed out on upperparts and have ear-coverts only slightly darker than the crown.
The confusion with the other species is unlikely if seen well but compare with the female Sardinian Warbler and much larger and lankier female Orphean Warbler, both of which can recall Lesser Whitethroat in coloration.
