The white-browed fantail is a small bird about 18cm long, with dark brown upperparts spotted white on the wings, whitish underparts and a fan-shaped tail edged in white. Long white eyebrows meet on the forehead, and the throat and eye mask are blackish, bordering whitish moustache stripes (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is insectivorous and often fans its tail as it moves through the undergrowth. It lays three eggs in a small cup nest in a tree (Wikipedia, general species account).
