New Zealand Fantail (Piwakawaka or Tiwakawaka)
Rhipidura fuliginosa

These birds are a close relative of the Grey Fantail of Australia and until recently were considered to be the same species. As with other fantail flycatchers, such as the Willie Wagtail, they hawk for insects and are capable of some great aerobatics.
