Hi
Can anyone confirm (or not!) the id of these 2 warblers. Pictures taken in Chitwan NP in March
Thanks

1-2 Greenish Warbler. Assume these are the same individual? That these images are challenging is an understatement so problem is safely eliminating Large-billed Leaf which can be superficially similar, especially to nominate Greenish. Looking specifically at the 1st image, the OP has an extensive pale bill, in particular, the lower mandible appears all pale + pp is very short which are more indicative of Greenish.

3-4 Locustella sp., Spotted most likely but don't know how you would rule out West Himalayan on these views or in the absence of soundfile.
