Caspian (Eastern) or Eurasian Reed Warbler
Acrocephalus (scirpaceus) fuscus or Acrocephalus (scirpaceus) scirpaceus

(Above) Al Shamal Park, Qatar, 08 May 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

This rather plain Reed Warbler caught my attention because it showed a strikingly short primary projection. But all thoughts (hopes) of Blyth's Reed Warbler are quickly scotched by the russet plumage, especially the colourful underparts (central belly and flanks).
