It looks like a juvenile Common Tailorbird - small size, green back, rufous on crown, longish tail.

Thanks ajohn.
At the same moment same short tree, I got this bird as well. What do you think both 2 birds?

Looking again, and especially with the new photo, I think that I was wrong earlier. These look more like juvenile Plain Prinias. The new photo is in better light, and it is clear that the back is not green and the crown is not rufous. It also explains the slightly paler outer tail that was puzzling me before. Were there any adults around?

I did not see adult around. Both 2 photos are taken at same tree, 4 juveniles looks like
First photos( a bit green back at site), and 1 juvenile stood at open and was not green back as second photo. So I did not ensure that they are 2 species or same specie at different juvenile stage.
