bird

Somnath yes that could be? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashy_Prinia or perhaps the Lesser White-throat http://www.ntbc.org.uk/central%20asian%20lesser%20whitethroat.html

think its a prinia. may be a ashy one(Prinia socialis)

Have found this on the web using your reference SunirmalBarai: The Indian Tailor Bird, Orthotomus sutorius, ((r. it!. Forster. Jerd. ...... They have two musical instruments, a tuntuna and a samel. I spent some years in India but don't know of this name relationship to this bird.

That seems definate - have you other thoughts?

Could be young Tailorbird? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailorbird
