Help needed for this bird (1 Viewer)

Hello, I snapped this bird in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago close to the Great Ouse. I tentatively thought it might be a sedge warbler, but I'm not really sure. Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

Hello,

thats a Sedge Warbler. Please note:

the right colouration including the right head pattern (blackish cap and dark ear-coverts, divided by a strong/evident whitish supercilium.

Total lack of green/oliv hues anywhere in the plumage excludes many Phylloscopus warblers (but some Chiffchaff and a few Willow Warblers appearantly lack them, at least in the field. But thats often a good point to start with: look for greenish or/and pale citrine yellow hues in the plumage)
