Rufous-capped Babbler vs Common Tailorbird

Rufous-capped Babbler vs Common Tailorbird

Hi, can anyone teach me how to differentiate them? I bet I have seen both in TPK in the past month, but I don't know how to be certain. Is the color of the throat the most significant, or really the length of beak and tail (which seems difficult to say what is long/short). Pls advise. Thanks!

Mandy, thanks! It seems the color of the face and neck is different as well. Can I say that Common Tailorbird is generally white on face and neck with black marks, while Babbler is more brown-liked?

Thanks John and Mandy!
