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. Author: madcat Time: 8/04/2011 18:01

no sign of the Ruddy-breasted Crake which people spotted last week.
Saw a farmer spreading herbicide on the grass/reeds where the Water Rail is hiding. Is it acceptable practice? Author: Tony Time: 26/04/2011 12:52 Subject: LV 20110425
Ronaldo,
Spraying herbicides and insecticides are common practices for local farmers to remove unwanted weeds and pests.
