Re: (delhibirdpix) Sulphur-bellied Warbler - ID confirmed

I have seen Tickell's leaf warbler at close quarters in Itanagar where it is fairly common. I must say that it certainly resembles TLW.
TLW's call is distinctive. If you could play the call on xeno-canto website that could be a clincher.
TLW could also be out of range?

Subject: (delhibirdpix) Sulphur-bellied Warbler - ID confirmed

Saurabh Sawant very kindly spent time studying the bird and it was a close call between a Sulphur-bellied and a Tickell's Leaf. After confirmation of Nuthatch-like behaviour, he confirmed it to be the former. So here are the images again - just in case anyone else has an alternative view, with no offence meant to Saurabh and his expertise.
