Spotted Fantail

Of the 3 fantails found in Borneo, I really think the Spotted Fantail Rhipidura perlata is the better looking!  But looks aside, there is also differences in behaviour.  I notice that the Spotted does not fan its tail as often as the other fantails and it sits in a more upright position.   Otherwise, like the others, it is an active insectivore, pursuing its prey from all angles.
