Comparing to the winter individuals (for example, the bird in the previous page), the supercilium and the tips of greater and mediun coverts are clear yellow and the body feathers are greenish. The wing barrs and white tips of tertials are broader than the winter individuals.
The bases of primary and greater coverts are black. This character is same with yellow-browed Warbler.
