Grasshopper Warbler or Lanceolated Warbler Pakistan? (1 Viewer)

Taken on 21st Oct at Borit Lake in Gilgit area.

Photographer identified it as Grasshopper Warbler but it looks spotted underneath, has a darkish throat - but not all Grasshopper Warblers have pale throats I believe and it appears to have the right back streaks for a Lanceolated Warbler?

But saying all that it could just be a very tatty bedraggled Grasshopper Warbler that has crossed the Himalayas...

It also appears to have quite a short tail......anyway

Thanks in advance....

At the moment only this image available - if anything else I or the poster will add them.

Grasshopper Warbler IMO. The upper parts and tertials do not look well enough marked, the latter lacking obvious dark centres with contrasting crisp fringes. Further, the flank streaking, though strong, looks the wrong shape and the bill looks to long and slim. The tail does appear short, possibly damaged?
