I'm afraid not - just an Oriental Reed as far as I can see, especially from the final shot, showing the huge thick bill- the opposite of what Blyth's Reed's bill looks like.

Just thought I'd better add there are good reasons why it isn't Thick-billed either - proportions, especially wing and tail length and presence of fairly clear supercilium.

Thanks Mike!

I recall that its size is roughly the same as Chinese Bulbul so it fits the size of Oriental Reed Warbler.

It's a new tick on my list! 3551d16c4689445
