A small, square-tailed drongo primarily found perched high above the ground near open areas in the forest or forest edge. Look for this species’ relatively short, mostly square tail and note its upright posture as it perches in the canopy and subcanopy. Listen for its harsh, wheezy “rahr!” and whistled “wu-it wu-it!” calls, as well as other varied harsh and bubbly calls, many of which are delivered in pairs. Formerly lumped with multiple other square-tailed drongo species in other parts of Africa.
