It is easily recognized by its long tail which opens to a fan. It has a small head and bill and has two colour forms, pied and melanistic or black. The pied birds are grey-brown with white and black bands. Date: 15 April 2011, 11:45. Source: Fantail NZ. Author: Bernard Spragg. NZ from Christchurch, New Zealand.
