Long White Tails

This is an Asian Paradise Flycatcher of the subspecies - Terpsiphone paradisi borneensis, which is recorded from the island of Borneo and north Java.

This is a Male bird, saw him during a night walk, perched on a branch overhanging the trail about 2.5 meters height.
As it was 'sleeping' I was able to approach for some close-ups and took more pictures of him.

    Nice one! Awesome that you managed to fit in the lengthy tail! Interesting color match here:

We've seen white morphs of flycatchers in Sri Lanka (asian flycatcher) and Madagascar on several occasions but never got a clear shot until this day.
