A small, boldly patterned black-and-white bird, males with a neat black cap and back set against white underparts and wing bars, often seen sallying for insects from an exposed perch.
Usually found in pairs or small parties joining mixed-species flocks in open forest and edge habitats, actively hawking insects in short aerial sallies.
