Clamorous Reed or Blyth's Reed? (1 Viewer)

[Himalaya]

The size of the bird, long legs, beak and dusky under parts suggest Clamorous Reed Warbler to me....but to a friend whose knowledge of Asian Warblers is better than mine it is a Blyth's Reed Warbler. Taken in the last 7 days in Sindh.

Legs are too pale for Clamorous, their legs are usually an almost leaden grey.

So Blyth's Reed it is r could it be Paddyfield Warbler 1st year bird?

To me it doesn't look like a Clamorous but a Blyth's RW. The supercilium isn't prominent and doesn't extent enough behind the eye for a Paddyfield.
