Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A fairly small, long-tailed bird of montane forest and edge. Uniform dark, slaty-gray with blackish face and wing. White throat, short brow and mark behind the eye, dotted wing bars and tail tip. Fairly tame as the name suggests. Forages actively like other fantails, with tail cocked, fanned and wings drooped. Sometimes joins mixed flocks. Similar to Northern Fantail, but Friendly is smaller with dotted white wing-bar and white stripe behind the eye. Song, a slightly metallic, jumbled series of high-pitch notes.
