another Eurasian Reed vs Blyth's Reed Warbler question - Ile de Sein (France) (2 Viewers)

[Gduff]

I've seen this bird (oct 9th) together with another known and experienced birder. He was watching it before I could see the bird (better than I could see when I arrived), and was certain of the ID: Blyth's Reed.
The photos I could take are poor, but he thinks it's enough to support the ID: short primary projection, plain tertials, no rufous on rump

What do you think?

Thanks

FWIW, I’d like a clearer view of the wing ie prim to tertial ratio, also the emargination points on p3/p4 which should fall further up the wing from where I’m seeing at the moment.

Cheers

Did the other observer get any photos? These aren't quite in focus at times or at funny angles and only small parts of the bird are visible, so I'd hate to say anything for or against your proposed identification.

A mystery warbler in the Netherlands turned out to be a very late Marsh Warbler:

Photos aren't great, but nothing suggests Blyth's to me.

that's also my thought. There aren't more photos.
so I will let it as Eurasian
