The White-bellied Fantail is a distinctive species found in the southern Philippines. It is known for its grey upperparts, clear white belly, and its active, tail-fanning foraging style.
Where to spot
Endemic to Mindanao and Basilan islands in the southern Philippines, inhabiting forests and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for the clean contrast between its grey upperparts and pure white belly. Observe its typical fantail movements and tail fanning. Listen for its high-pitched, sibilant calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, constantly moving as it hunts for insects.
This fantail species often perches on exposed branches, rapidly fanning and wagging its tail, a characteristic behavior to flush out insects.
