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.

Photos from this morning.



This Bright-capped Cisticola was missing most of its tail.
