A plain prinia or a yellow bellied prinia or other species
The following birds are taken at two places in Wetland park, are they the same species? Is it a plain prinia or a yellow bellied prinia or other species?

Thank you very much! Its bill seems to be black in some picture, is this due to mud or other reason?

Adults get a blacker bill during the breeding season. I think your second photo (with a very pink bill) is a juvenile, and the others are adults.
