Are you sure about the prinia KGS? I'd have gone for Grey-breasted, but happy to be proved wrong

Prinias are tricky and I don't believe I can prove anything, but I would have thought that the very black bill strongly indicates that the bird is in breeding plumage, and if so I don't think Grey-breasted is a likely option. Still looks fine for Plain Prinia I think. Problems?

After checking OB pics it seems that my point isn't very relevant. Many examples showing birds combining very black bill with non-breeding plumage. So I feel this Prinia could maybe be a Grey-breasted.
