A striking black-and-white, endemic forktail with a long, deeply forked tail, closely tied to fast-flowing, boulder-strewn streams in Borneo's mountains.
Forages along stream edges and boulders for aquatic invertebrates and insects, constantly flicking its tail, and is a characteristic sighting on montane trekking routes near running water.
