I took these images in Side, Turkey 07/04/2024. Given the location could it possibly be a Caspian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus fuscus) @kuzeycem @Grahame Walbridge @Brian J Small

Hi,
It certainly could be, but at least I don't know of any safe way to distinguish between the ssp without measurements and/or DNA (except for 'grey morph' fuscus probably).
Perhaps others might be more helpful.

rel. fresh plumage supports ssp. fuscus, as many if not most of them moult during winter (different to nominate scirpaceus).
