About the Black-and-cinnamon Fantail
The black-and-cinnamon fantail (Rhipidura nigrocinnamomea) is a species of bird in the fantail family Rhipiduridae. It is endemic to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines where it is found in the tropical montane forests above 1,000 meters above sea level. The specific name is derived from Latin niger for 'black', and cinnamomeus for 'cinnamon'. The black-and-cinnamon fantail is 16 cm (6.3 in) long and weighs 10.5–14.5 g (0.37–0.51 oz). Two subspecies are recognized: R. n. nigrocinnamomea – Found on Central and Southern Mindanao R. n. hutchinsoni – Found on North, West and Eastern Mindanao; similar to the nominate but lacks the white on the breast.
