Booted/Sykes's Warbler--NE Iran (1 Viewer)

Hi there,

I captured these photos in NE Iran a few weeks ago, on May 30, 2024.
We had both Booted and Sykes's Warbler before in this habitat. It is a part of Kashaf River which is near Mashhad city.
This observation is related to this checklist. I'd appreciate it if you please check the other warbler photos too. Any opinion would be great.

Thanks in advanced

This would appear to be a Sykes's; on the checklist, I think your 'Eastern Olivaceous' is a Common Reed and your 'Common Reed' looks like another Sykes's Warbler (the audio recordings for Common Reed are correct, though).
