Yep and I reckon that picture would be appropriate for a Marsh Warbler "seen" anywhere in Britain in March or December.
Interesting that the eventual consensus seems to be that it couldn't have been a Marsh Warbler, based on the date being too early....

 EGG REJECTION IN MARSH WARBLERS (ACROCEPHALUS PALUSTRIS) HEAVILY PARASITIZED BY COMMON CUCKOOS (CUCULUS CANORUS) Auk, ...
The Marsh Warbler's ability to reject foreign eggs was strongly dependent on the degree of mimicry of the parasite egg but apparently not on differences in size between host and foreign eggs.
The Marsh Warbler's highly developed egg-recognition ability and the good mimicry of Common Cuckoo eggs suggests that this poorly known host-parasite arms race has reached an advanced stage.
To obtain knowledge of sensitivity in Marsh Warbler rejection behavior, we investigated whether there was a difference in rejection rate between artificial nonmimetic cuckoo eggs, real Great Reed Warbler (A. arundinaceus) eggs, real conspecific eggs, real but painted conspecific eggs (experimental parasitism), and real cuckoo eggs (natural parasitism).

 The Kelynack Warbler - some comments - surfbirds.com
On only 16% of Marsh Warblers is it this short - on the remaining 84% it is level to or longer than p4 (on 1% of 1st winters it is even longer than p3!).
The emargination of p3 on Marsh is nearer the wing tip - falling roughly equal to p7; here it seems to fall at arround p10, and with the length of p2, it tends to confirm a Reed Warbler of some sort.
As a final "throw-away" comment, I would suspect that many claims of Marsh Warbler from the second half of October are very likely not.
