The Blue-headed Racket-tail is marked by a blue head and spatula-shaped tips on its central tail feathers. It is restricted to Palawan and nearby islands, and much of its wild ecology remains poorly known.
It is about 28 cm long, with a green body, a yellower belly, and a blue head. The central tail feathers end in spatula-shaped tips; the blue on the female's head is less extensive.
It is seen alone, in pairs, or in small groups. It is noisy and conspicuous in flight but quiet while feeding. It uses lowland forest, edges, secondary growth, mangroves, and remnant trees in cultivated areas. Its diet is poorly known; fruit and nuts are supported by evidence from one specimen.
