Marsh Warbler

Marsh Warbler

Walking along the lakeside yesterday there were a couple of marsh warblers feeding on mosquitoes among the reeds and bushes. I think I was at the bottom of the foodchain because the mosquitoes were feeding on me. Although these birds were not trilling their usual call, I'm pretty sure that this is a marsh warbler. Would appreciate all feedback whether for or against this identification.
