Clamorous Reed-warbler/Great Reed-warbler/Indian Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus stentoreus)

 Locally rather common breeding resident of reedbeds in wetlands and tangled vegetations growing in or near tanks and marshes of the dry lowlands. Also occasionally occurs in similar habitats of the wet zone.  It lives as pairs and feeds on small insects. Clamorous Reed-warbler breeds from March to August. The nest is a large deep cup made up of dry reed leaves, placed among reed stems where it lays two or three eggs.

    I've seen a bird quite similar to this one. Can you help me to identify it?

    Thanks
