The grey fantail (Rhipidura albiscapa) is a small insectivorous bird. There is no sexual dimorphism.[3] It is a common fantail found in Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia. The species is considered by many to be conspecific with the New Zealand fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa);[4] however, differences in its calls lead some authorities to treat it as a separate species.[2][5] The studies of grey fantail in 1999 by Richard Schodde and Ian Mason recommended that Tasmanian grey fantail was formally classified as R. albiscapa and New Zealand fantails populations as R. fuliginosa[6]
