A Blyth's Reed Warbler would have a shorter primary projection and a smaller bill. The bird looks like a Basra Reed Warbler to me.

Although I have spent some time in southern Iraq I didn't have the chance to see these birds unfortunately. From the looks of it from books I have Basra seems to fit well.
