Chelidorhynx hypoxantha

The yellow-bellied fantail (Chelidorhynx hypoxanthus), also known as the yellow-bellied fairy-fantail, is found in the Indian subcontinent, the Himalayas, and portions of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar.[2] It is an altitudinal migrant.[3]

Description

[edit]

It is about 8 cm in size. It is yellow below and has a black eye-stripe, white wing-bar and broad black tail tipped white.

Classifiation

[edit]

It used to be placed in the family of the fantails (Rhipiduridae), but DNA analysis has shown it to be a close relative of the fairy flycatcher and it has therefore been transferred to the Stenostiridae (IOC World Bird List), in the revalidated monotypic genus Chelidorhynx.[4]

Social Behavior

[edit]

It often gathers in mixed-species flocks, especially during winter, with leaf-warblers, tits, and black-faced warblers.[3]
