Although the wing bars are described as white and CS Warbler has yellow wing bars, the written report and sketch are conclusive.  Too bad we never received the photos.

Although the written descriptions aren't the greatest, they do support the identification of the bird. The sketch, though is excellent and clinches the identification. It would have been nice to see the photos that were apparently taken.

One of the observer's descriptions covered the major field marks of this distinctive species adequately enough for me, but I really regret not being able to see the pictures of the bird, since at least two observers were mentioned to have got them.

Combination of yellow crown and chestnut on sides is diagnostic.
