These two birds are shot in Yunnan province(Close to Burma, 2014-04-15 ), they have long and slender bill and short supercilium, unlike the common Oriental Reed Warbler. the first one has pinkish legs.

Thank you very much

It's hard to judge size from these images. Are you talking Oriental reed size, or smaller (eg black-browed RW size?

I'm guessing you are thinking about Large-billed, which I can understand given the known breeding grounds and records of birds on passage...

Thank you!
The photographer did not pay attention to size, I would like to know if there might be Clamorous Reed Warbler or Blunt-winged Warbler.

Hello,

I'm not sure , the 2nd bird is resemble Glamorous Reed Warbler (Indian race: brunnescens), the bill looks long and pale throat and chin, rufous underparst, PP fine too , However, Kennerly and Pearson 2010 exhibited a full account of the species and stated that the race A.s. amyae is found in SW china , your bird seems heavier than blunt-winged warbler which I would exclude it from my search.

Add new images, p2 is shorter than p5, and it shows emarginations on p3 and p4, may be p5?
Now considered to be Glamorous Reed Warbler yet?

Thank you very much.

More Clamorous than glamorous Xuky

Could well be but looks rather long-winged in some of the latter shots. Wing formula suits CRW better I think, but I've never seen amyae.

Steep forehead, thin, slightly decurved bill, pure white breast and steep forehead, not to mention supercilium only in front of eye all point to it being a Clamorous Reed Warbler.

Agree James, just a tad concerned about the first and third images in the last shots posted looking rather long-winged, other features certainly fit.

Thank you for confirmation！
Good news, this is the first time I saw photos of the Clamorous Reed Warbler in China!
