Pied Fantail
Size: 18 cm

Description:
A small size; dark plumage; long broad tail which it often fans out. Genders look alike. Adult has a narrow black breast band contrasting with white throat and whitish belly. Upper-parts dark/slaty grey; tail black tipped with white; eyebrow white. Female has a rusty brown rump, upper tail coverts and wings; breast band smaller and blotched with white.

Voice:
Described as various churrs, chattering, whistles and squeaks; kree-chak . A common call is a long drawn out wheee-feeouul.

Habits:
Pied Fantails are most frequently found in mangroves. But they can also be seen in other habitats with lots of undergrowth and insects. These include scrub and cultivated areas (gardens, plantations). They are not seen in deep forests where there is insufficient undergrowth.

Distribution:
Common resident breeder throughout the island and North and South offshore islands.

Sharp with nice contrast. We have a similar bird here in the Philippines, which I thought was endemic.

This bird is a little bit worried.Picture is good and nice.Best regards.Alin.
