Description : The white-throated fantail is a bird species that measures about 19 cm (7.5 in) in length, characterized by a dark fan-shaped tail with white edges, as well as a white supercilium and throat. There are various plumage variations between different races. It has a slate grey color on its upper and lower body, a black eye mask, and a white throat and eyebrow. This bird species lays three eggs in a small cup nest located in a tree and primarily feeds on insects while fanning its tail as it moves through the undergrowth.
The eggs of the white-throated fantail are white and measure approximately 2 cm (0.79 in) in length. They feature a band of brown spots around the middle, closer towards the base of the egg.
White-throated fantails use the same song every year with minor modifications, resulting in a song that sounds distinct after 4-5 years.
