This fantail lives on Pohnpei and nearby larger lagoon islands in Micronesia. It moves through forest while fanning or wagging its white-tipped tail.
It is a small, mostly brown bird with white tips to its tail. The local guide notes that it sometimes spreads the tail into a fan.
It occurs in dense lowland and mid-level forest, moving quietly along the ground or between twigs. It eats small invertebrates and may make short sallies into the air to catch them.
