The yellow-rumped thornbill (''Acanthiza chrysorrhoa'') is a species of passerine bird from the genus Acanthiza. The genus was once placed in the family Pardalotidae but that family was split and it is now in the family Acanthizidae. There are four subspecies of yellow-rumped thornbill. It is a small, brownish bird with a distinctive yellow rump and thin dark bill. It inhabits savannah, scrub and forests across most of Australia and eats insects. The species engages in cooperative breeding. ==Taxonomy== The yellow-rumped thornbill was described as ''Saxicola chrysorrhoa'' by the French naturalists Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard in 1830, from a specimen collected in King George Sound.〔Quoy, J.R.C. & Gaimard, J.P. in Dumont-d'Urville, J. (1830). ''Voyage de découvertes de l'Astrolabe exécuté par ordre du Roi, pendant les anneés 1826-1827-1828-1829, sous le commandement de M.J. Dumont-d'Urville''. Zoologie. Paris: J. Tastu Vol. 1 i p197〕 Its specific epithet is derived from the Ancient Greek ''chryso-'' "golden", and ''orrhos'' "rump" or "sacral region". Four subspecies are recognised; the nominate ''chrysorrhoa'' of Western Australia, ''leachi'' of Tasmania, ''leighi'' of eastern Australia, and ''normantoni'' of central and northern Australia. ''Butterbum'' is a colloquial name used by Australian birdwatchers.
