FYI:

http://www.delhibird.org/species/sp06547.htm

"while the Plain is indeed plain but with obvious white stripes above the eyes (supercilia) and usually a rather pale bill"

"The Yellow-bellied as a paler grey crown and nape merging into greenish-grey upperparts and with, usually, obvious white supercilia. The throat and breast are white and the belly and undertail coverts are yellow."
