Unknown Reed Warbler

I took this photo last Saturday 7/10/06 at Mai Po.
I thought it was a Oriental Reed Warbler at first when I took it, but after reviewing from these photos, it was not similar to Oriental Reed Warbler I have seen before.
The leg of this warbler was black and the bill was shorter than Oriental Reed Warbler.
Can anyone help to identify it?
This is the one I have seen before.

Your initial ID was correct - this is an oriental reed warbler. It is moulting out of juvenile plumage, so looks a bit scruffy compared to the other bird you have photographed.
Note the large size, long(ish), strong bill and obvious supercilium.
