Sunda Forktail

Enicurus velatus

The Sunda Forktail (Enicurus velatus) is a small passerine bird found in the forests and streams of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its striking black and white plumage, with a distinctive white stripe on its tail. This species is known for its agile and darting flight patterns as it forages for insects along the forest floor and streams. The Sunda Forktail is often found in dense undergrowth near clear, fast-flowing streams, where it builds its cup-shaped nest. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and degradation are potential future threats to this species.
