First photo dispute about this id.....looks like a Cetti's to me.....another says Paddyfield..

Taken in late December just north of Karachi..



The second photo is taken by me and I believe is a Booted Warbler with black tipped bill.......this is just north of Karachi....on 31/12/18



the next 3 photos were taken in North West Pakistan near the Kabul River by me as well......bit of a dampy area....some thickets ......in early january....a Blyth's Reed Warbler?


Thanks in advance!

1st looks like Great reed warbler (Super clearly marked in front of eye, strong bill, long pp, blue-ish legs) 2nd bird looks like a worn Greenish warbler, though the dark tip to the lower mandible seems puzzling. 3rd bird appears to be a Chiffchaff, presumably tristis.

How about clamorous reed for number 1, and the rest chiffchaffs.

Chiffchaff makes sense despite the lack of a buff cheek - in Greenish, the super should reach the base of the bill and be longer without kinking upwards over the eye, and there should be a dark spot behind the eye. The bill isn't the right shape either - not triangular enough.
