More on Menetries´s warbler (Main Area)

Hi,
I attach 4 new pictures taken by Jose Ardaiz of the warbler seen in Eilat on the 15th that has created so much debate.
As you can see, on the first 2 pictures (warbler 1 and warbler 2) the bird resembles the bird sent to this forum and identified by many as momus. On the other hand, the bird on the other 2 pics (warbler 3 and 4) looks very much the same as the one posted on netfugl as clear menetries´s. On warbler 3,it´s easy to notice that the lower mandible is clearly pinkish.
Well, all 4 pictures depict the same bird (the photographer followed it all the time, without losing sight of it), so the differences between the colours and tones on the 4 pics are just effects of light. This means that we, and also Killian and others,think that all pictures (the ones from netfugl, israbirding forum and these ones) are all of the same bird, a menetries´s
I´d be glad to hear others opinions on the bird now that there are more pictures




Thanks
