But look at the colour of the legs - surely too dark for a willow warbler?

Thanks Russell. It did cross my mind. Its pee’d me off quite a lot. I don’t dislike cats, having one myself... but a willow warbler would have been a great coup in my garden. Unfortunately I wasn’t at home when it happened, and the neighbour called me as soon as I got in. We have no fence between us, only bushes so it was probably dotting about in my garden too.

Unfortunately, the neighbours cat managed to catch this early this morning. At first I thought it was a juvenile, but it seems too mature. It looks like a warbler, and I panicked that it may be Icterine, but I think they are larger and heavier. To be honest I am not 100% sure, any ideas?
Its quite small, not much bigger than a blue tit.
