Paddyfield Warbler (Acrocephalus agricola)?

Taken on 30/11/08 at Lake Kolleru in AP. It was in an area filled with Common Water Hyacinth,  Eichhornia crassipes. I hope Id is correct.

It's Water Hyacinth all right :-), but the bird doesn't look like an
Acrocephalus at all. Some juvenile Prinia, maybe?

Thanks, Abhijit ji.

As per my observation, behavior was like that of a warbler & not that of a Prinia.

 

Can it be Booted as suggested by Kanwar ji as below?:

I am also attaching a similar picture taken in Dec.'06 in wetlands of Kolkata & identified as Paddyfield Warbler.

I suppose so.

Yes, that one is a Paddyfield Warbler, but the two birds look very
different to me.
