Common (or Long-tailed) Tailorbird 
(Chích bông đuôi dài, Orthotomus sutorius)

Cisticolidae, Cisticolas (pronounced sis-TIC-olas): from Ancient Greek kisthos, "rock-rose", and Latin colere, "to dwell".
Orthotomus from the Ancient Greek orthotomeō, meaning 'to cut straight'.
The scientific name sutorius means "cobbler" rather than "tailor".

The common tailorbird is a songbird found across tropical Asia: upright tail, greenish upper body plumage and rust coloured forehead and crown.

Tailorbirds are small birds, most of which belong to the genus Orthotomus. They were often placed in the Old World warbler family Sylviidae, recent research suggests they more likely belong in the Cisticolidae.
