| Roughly the same size as a wren, with white cheeks and a cinnamon cap, the bird was named the Cambodian tailorbird by the team that documented the discovery. |
| Mr. Sundar pointed to a tailorbird stitching its delicate, egg-shaped basket of a nest. |
| The Cambodian tailorbird was the second major Cambodia-related discovery announced this month. |
| Despite living on the edge of an urban area, the Cambodian tailorbird escaped detection due to its dense scrub habitat. |
| There are 12 other species of tailorbird, but the Orthotomus chaktomuk, the scientific name for the discovery announced Wednesday, is distinct in plumage and genetic makeup, Mr. Mahood said. |
| The first recorded netting of the Cambodian tailorbird was serendipity. |
