Relevant to Denmark, always more elongated and sharper looking than the sympatric chiffchaffs. The legs are dark red rather than black and the eye stripe darker too. The primary projection is long on Willow compared to Chiffchaff. The two breed in the same type habitat and areas, and is best id'ed during the summer by sound.

Subspecies: ? One of the few birds to be found among the far more common chiffchaffs migrating through Denmark in large numbers right now. They move erratically through the foliage making them difficult to see well and separate, but this birds shows what you expect to see on a Willow: A long primary projection, and contrasting color between feet and leg. Legs here being diagnostically paler than those of the chiffchaff. Not so obvious from these photos is that willow normally appears more greenish yellow than the chiffs, and often has a more elongated appearance. |

Dark red legs rather than black makes me say Willow over Chiffchaff, even though the primary projection appears to look short. But the angle might count for that. |
