Common tailorbird

Tailorbirds are small birds, most belonging to the genus Orthotomus. While they were often placed in the Old World warbler family Sylviidae, recent research suggests they more likely belong in the Cisticolidae and they are treated as such in Del Hoyo et al. One species, the mountain tailorbird (and therefore also its sister species rufous-headed tailorbird), is actually closer to an old-world warbler genus Cettia.
They occur in the Old World tropics, principally in Asia.
These warblers are usually brightly coloured, with green or grey upperparts and yellow-white or grey underparts. They often have chestnut on the head.
Tailorbirds have short rounded wings, short tails, strong legs and long curved bills. The tail is typically held upright, like a wren.
