A relatively small warbler was sighted during our birding on sunday at ezhome. The warbler was seen on small scrubs growing in the paddyfield near the road side. The bird was active and was moving fastly around the reeds relatively faster and was actively feeding near the water surface. Noticable features include prominant eyebrow with dark crown. Underpart was(Belly) Pale and the upperparts are darker compared to underparts. The streaks in the wings and upperparts were not that clear. The sighting lasted only a few minutes and the bird was not making any calls or sounds. The bird disappeared in the reeds after a short time interval. https://ebird.org/checklist/S126095411

The only confusing id was of a sedge/moustached warbler. Comments from discussion points towards sedge as a perfect candidate for the specimen in discussion.

Brilliant silver lines enclosed in black bordered red bands makes your first encounter with the Silverline quite unforgettable. Its reluctance to fly away also allows you to get really close to this butterfly. However its flight is extremely swift and once it takes off it is very difficult to follow its course.
