Acrocephalus sp, Southern Switzerland (1 Viewer)

Hello,

I've just watched this bird this morning in marshes, in Valais (southern part of Switzerland).
To me it's probably a late reed warbler (it seems injured on the right flank, which could explain that it is not able to migrate... Yet the bird could fly apparently well). But I'm still asking for your opinion, because I'm not familiar with the Acros and I ignore the criteria to identify a Blyth's or a Paddyfield warbler...

Thanks in advance !
