The yellow color of beak tell you it is a juvenile or subadult. I have compared to some pictures from "oriental bird club" images which kind of favor the latter. I hope to go and get better shot of an adult bird to be conclusive.
The Rufescent Prinia usually have whitish uniform breast till the belly. At times its has buff tinge to its body side.
It also have distinct supercillum (eye-brow) which is not seen here.
Its mantle is not olive enough for a sub-adult Rufescent
Rufescent's tail has also pale whitish tip which is not seen here.
The contrast of the whitish throat and a grey banded breast which is prominent in the photos points me to my conclusion.
I will leave it to the other expert says Thanks for viewing
The bird was shot in high elevation of 1000m in Bukit Tinggi Pahang
