Greater Racket-tailed Drongo

A large drongo with prominant tail feathers. One of the most distinctive forest birds in Singapore thanks in part to its distinctive modified tail feathers. Plumage glossy black, with conspicious tuft on forehead. Red eyes. Tail lightly forked, unlike Crow-billed Drongo, with shafts of outer feathers extending and ending with a curled racket. Recently moulted birds and juvenile may not possess these rackets.
