This bird was seen on April 6, in an irrigation ditch near fields and steppe in southern Kazakhstan.
Its call eliminated Paddyfield Warbler, but could be good for Sykes's, Booted, or Eastern Olivaceous. Its bill seems too short for Sykes's or Eastern Olivaceous, leading us to conclude Booted. But as I don't have much experience with any of these species in the field, I'd like to hear the opinions of those who do. Thanks!
