[Thailand] Pied Fantail (Rhipidura javanica)

Pied Fantail (Rhipidura javanica)
Taken at Suan Rotfai Park, Bangkok, Thailand

It is an amusing bird to watch - it is very quick-moving and quite challenging to photograph. It zigzags on its perch with its tail providing balance while spread out. The tail has the "444" pattern when spread out (4 white-tipped + 4 all brown + 4 white-tipped tail feathers). One can also notice the white "eyebrows" which are a nice accent to its face. The juvenile has brown edges on its back feathers, and brown "eyebrows".
Enjoy!
