The Black Fantail is a small, dark fantail species found in the Philippines. It is characterized by its uniformly dark, sooty-black plumage and its typical fantail behavior of actively fanning its tail.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, found in montane forests, often in the undergrowth and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for its entirely dark plumage and the characteristic fanning of its tail. It is a restless feeder, constantly flitting and twisting. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight, constantly foraging for insects, often in the mornings.

The Black Fantail is one of the few fantail species that lacks prominent white markings, making its identification rely more on its shape, behavior, and vocalizations.
