Comment:   Consulted Dylan Vasapolli: The mostly grey colour, a long beak with the very obvious orange base to the beak, long primary feather projection, and paler panel on secondaries of the wing are all good features for Olive-tree Warbler. This species would be out of range by some way, but there is no doubt to the ID.
