Tablas Drongo

Dicrurus menagei (Bourns & Worcester, 1894)

Dicruridae — Drongos

Tablas Drongo, Dicrurus menagei, is a passerine of the family Dicruridae that lives on Tablas Island in the Philippines. It is confined to the Oriental Region breeding range on Tablas, where it occurs in tropical old-growth and other mature closed-canopy forest. Its key feature is its jet-black plumage and long, fish-like tail. It was once treated as the same species as the hair-crested drongo. It was not recorded for many years before surveys resumed in 1998.
