Do Blackcaps (or Garden Warblers) have barred undertail coverts? (1 Viewer)

Reviewing my photos from Ile de Sein, taken in the last days, and I've got this bird, only seen from underside (no more photos), which seems to have barred undertail coverts.
If there was a Barred Warbler in that bush, I guess I would have seen it, but who knows...
I've seen only Blackcaps ; so do they have such undertail, or can one suspect Barred Warbler??

The last 2 photos were taken 20 seconds later on the same bush, but I do not see those faint barrings on this Blackcap...

Same bird?

(There was a lot of Blackcaps (4-5) in that bush + 1 Garden Warbler, so we didn't pay sufficient attention)
