A slender, mostly grey treepie with a black face and throat and elongated, wire-like tail-shafts ending in tiny racquets, giving it a distinctive silhouette in flight.
Forages in open woodland and scrub for insects and fruit, often in small noisy groups, though it reaches only the fringes of its range in the Borneo region.
