Hi, I took these photos today of a bird in the large field behind my house in South-eastern Thailand on May2, 2023. It seems to me to look like an Oriental Reed Warbler but there are no reeds or any type of wetland in the vicinity. The area is developed and undeveloped (fields) land near the airport. Of course, it could be just passing through.
The bi-coloured, convex bill seems to suggest reed warbler, but the supercilium is pretty weak behind the eye and the eye-stripe is as well. The tail is rather short, and the primaries look long. But it does not seem to have any buff wash anywhere, just a very white underside (washed out by the light perhaps?).
Help on identification much appreciated, as are any comments or suggestions.
Thank you in advance
steve
