There was some ideas about a possible Rosy Pipit but i could not locate a convincing bird.

5 Bright-capped Cisticola is very impressive! Does it show breeding plumage - more bright cap and shorter tail?

These birds were identified mostly by call.  I heard them in two different spots.  I did see two birds. One of which was in very poor plumage condition and seemed to be lacking it's tail almost completely. I would have thought it was Zitting Cisticola if I didn't hear it call.

I will add some pictures later.

Spraying herbicides and insecticides are common practices for local farmers to remove unwanted weeds and pests.
