The White-tailed Robin (Cinclidium leucurum) is a striking and secretive bird found in the forests of South and Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. It inhabits subtropical or tropical moist forests, often in hilly or montane regions, and prefers shaded areas with dense undergrowth.
This bird is medium-sized, measuring about 18–20 cm in length. Males are particularly eye-catching, with glossy dark blue plumage, black underparts, and a distinctive white patch on their tail that becomes prominent in flight. Females, on the other hand, have a more subdued appearance with olive-brown upperparts and lighter underparts.
White-tailed Robins are primarily insectivorous, often foraging on the forest floor for beetles, ants, and caterpillars. They are known for their melodious song, featuring sharp whistles and rhythmic notes.
