A Malaysian Pied-Fantail (Rhipidura javanica) spotted at Coney Island, Singapore, on 31 Oct 2021. It fanned its tail somewhat, but I haven't got it in full 'crazy' mode yet. 🙂

In the local Malay language, its name is Murai-Gila Biasa, or Ordinary Crazy-Magpie.

We have Rufous, and Grey Fantails here, and luckily I have got shots of both fanning their tails. (although the grey one was a bit far away).
Rufous Fantail living up to its name, fanning its tail.
Grey Fantail, fanning its tail.
