The golden-headed cisticola (Cisticola exilis) also known as the bright-headed cisticola, is a species of warbler found from India to Australia.It is very similar in appearance to the zitting cisticola — however, in the breeding season males acquire a breeding plumage in which their head, throat and breast are a bright golden-orange colour, and their tails become shorter than in winter-plumage.The species is found in rank vegetation in and around wetlands.It is known as the finest tailor of the birds, often using stolen spiders' threads to stitch together its nest.
