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 . There are two subspecies, the nominate R. n. nigrocinnamomea, from central and southern Mindanao; and R. n. hutchinsoni in north, western and eastern Mindanao. The specific name is derived from Latin niger for 'black', and cinnamomeus for 'cinnamon'.[2]
The black-and-cinnamon fantail is 16 cm (6.3 in) long and weighs 10.5–14.5 g (0.37–0.51 oz). The nominate subspecies has a black head with a prominent white eyebrow, the back, rump and tail are cinnamon coloured, the wings are black and cinnamon, the breast is white and the belly is orange-cinnamon. The subspecies R. n. hutchinsoni is similar to the nominate but lacks the white on the breast.[2]
The black-and-cinnamon fantail inhabits mid-montane forest from 980–2,440 m (3,220–8,010 ft). It feeds on insects. The species is not considered threatened in spite of having a small range, and is common where it occurs.[2]
