A black, white and grey wagtail with striking plumage variation across its wide range, occurring in Borneo as an uncommon winter visitor to open ground and waterside habitats.
Forages by walking briskly and dashing after insects, frequently near water or in open fields, and often roosts communally in reedbeds or urban trees.
