Blyth's reed warbler is a reed warbler that breeds across the Palearctic and winters in South Asia, and has been expanding its range westwards in Europe. It is slim with relatively short wings and a long bill, 12 to 14 cm long and 8 to 16 g. The plumage is plain, olive-brown above, off-white below, with a short whitish eyebrow and a dusky stripe through the eye (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is named for the zoologist Edward Blyth, who described it in 1849. The 2012 National Red List gives no status under this name.
