Near a river of the grassland. What would it most probably be? Thanks in advance.

I think this is a Thick-billed Warbler.

It has a plain-looking face with no supercilium and no dark spot in front of the eye, which separates this species from oriental Reed Warbler and Great Reed Warbler (which may occur in Mongolia, especially in the west).
