Adult male Yellow Prinia (Prinia flaviventris rafflesi) in breeding plumage (below).
The adult female partner (below). Note the male face has more black and female retains the white supercilium.
Note again the breeding plumage changes in the males – an indistinct, brownish (or buff) upper breast (at times lower neck band) – seen better in 2nd half of the video. In some birds this extends lower down and is almost confluent with the yellow belly; but always very light.
