Warbler (1 Viewer)

I am 90% sure this is a Lesser Swamp-Warbler. I mainly say this because of the brow. (Acrocephalus gracilirostris).

But it could also be A. baeticatus or A.palustris. I am not to sure when the wings are short enough.

In this case the birds are so alike in my guide they could all have been the same speci.

Is my ID correct?

I think that you are correct, Lesser Swamp Warbler (known as Cape Reed Warbler when I first saw it). The very brown back and very strong supercilium with very contrasting underparts certainly lead me to that conclusion.
