Hi Christina,

Please don't forget to mention the location and date of your photos.

I agree, note also the very rounded tail (almost square in Oriental Reed) and overall proportions with short wings and long tail which give it a shrike like structure.  Also the long first primary (very short in Oriental Reed Warbler)!

Gary, Mike & Paul, thanks so much for the confirmation of the ID and also the valuable opinion for the identification of the thick-billed warbler. It helps me a lot. Thanks again!

Hi, Forrest,

I'm not Christina, maybe you mismatch me for someone else, anyway, I've added all the information you mentioned and thank you for your advice!
