Description
The Cambodian tailorbird has an orange-red crown, and a black throat. The rest of its body is light and dark gray. It is 11–12 cm (4.3–4.7 in) long and weighs between 6–8 g (0.21–0.28 oz). The Cambodian tailorbird is known for its "loud call", which is similar to that of the dark-necked tailorbird.

Feeding Habits
Cambodian Tailorbird is largely insectivorous, eating small dipterans, spiders, caterpillars, and katydids. It forages in dense vegetation, using gleaning and sally-gleaning from bush leaves and vines, adapting to forage above water when flooded. Often seen in pairs or with a subadult, cambodian Tailorbird forages alone or in immature or mixed-age pairs during moult.
Habitat
The cambodian Tailorbird occupies dense humid evergreen scrublands in tropical or subtropical regions, with seasonal flooding shaping the landscape. These areas consist of shrubs 2-6 meters tall, scattered grasses, and sporadic trees in flat floodplains, usually not exceeding 25 meters in elevation. The scrub thickly envelops the understory beneath occasional canopies, but rampant urbanization poses a threat to these habitats.
