Warbler--Reed, Great R, Marsh? Eastern Turkey (1 Viewer)

Last week on the eastern shores of Lake Van in Turkey, this Acrocephalus-type warbler was singing heartily from the reeds. I'm stuck. I'm guessing it's a Reed Warbler, perhaps a Great RW (but it's song doesn't seem as harsh and grating as usual), or maybe a Marsh Warbler (but aren't their songs higher pitched than this one?) Am I in the right ballfield?

Here's the photo--not a great one: 1-P6035292.JPG

Here's the audio: View attachment P6035294.mp3

And the video (hope this link works):
