The paddyfield warbler (Acrocephalus agricola) is a species of marsh warbler (family Acrocephalidae). The paddyfield warbler (Acrocephalus agricola) is a small bird with a short, dark brown bill and long, rounded tail. The upperparts of the paddyfield warbler are orange-brown in May and June, but the plumage slowly wears to a dull olive brown throughout the rest of the year. The throat and belly are whitish and the sides are a buffy yellow. The paddyfield warbler has pinkish or greyish-brown legs, dark brown eyes, and a white mouchtachial stripe.
