Acro on Shetland last week (1 Viewer)

Hi

Obviously I'm not expecting anything definitive from this but …..

This acro was flushed from irises a few time last week in Shetland. Our initial impression from fleeting glimpses was possible BRW but I think this picture seems to confirm Eurasian Reed Warbler?

Can anything be deduced from this picture, the only one I managed?

With my very limited experience with BRW, to me the primary projection is too long and fine for Reed, as are the warm flanks. The whitish edges to the primaries aren't so distinct as to suggest a Marsh either.

agree, pp much too long for BRW, general colour too warm.
