Synonyms: Orthotomus cuculatus; Orthotomus euculatus (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The mountain tailorbird (Phyllergates cuculatus) is a songbird species formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but it actually seems to be one of the "pseudo-tailorbirds" which should be considered a genus Phyllergates in the family Cettiidae. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
