Florian, I can see why you plumped for one of the Greenish complex but the bird is one of the 'Arctic' Warbler sp. Note emarginated P3, 4 & 5 (not 6), long pp, feather 'spikes' on inner primary tips, pale legs with yellowish feet, and strong bill structure with dark distal area to lower mandible just visible. The colours reproduction is rather misleading and the face pattern likewise due to the angel of the shots.
2. Agree with Kloss's Leaf Warbler.

Many thanks Grahame! Especially for the detailed set of features, I was not aware of all of those...
Yes, I wondered if Arctic or Greenish. I went for Greenish, mainly because when seeing the bird, it did not have the typical Arctic jizz. But on the photos, most features indeed point to Arctic.
The supercillum is clearly meeting above the bill, so Arctic also can show this sometimes?
