(delhibirdpix) Grey-breasted Prinia (Prinia hodgsonii)

The commonest Prinia in the region, especially in the areas with more natural vegetation (the only other Prinia I have recorded is the Ashy). This one was actively singing in the middle of a swarm of some insects late evening after 6 PM on 28 September 2010.

Question: All the birds I have seen here, in any month of the year, always seem to "retain" the breeding plumage and sing throughout the year as well. Does this have something to do with race variations? Or do they just breed throughout the year and I just don't see the non-breeding, more skulking individuals?

In Manipal, Karnataka, India.
