HiGriffin  
 
Nice pic.
 
Lynx is right  -this a Plain prinia - you can tell by the very long tail. Dusky  has a much shorter tail and a stronger supercilium.
 
Cheers

Thanks everyone for correcting me. Prinia and warblers are one of the many areas I have to work harder on.
 
BTW, I heard one that day, I whistled in an attempt to lure it out. Turned out there were at least 4 inside that bush...
