Manus Fantail

Rhipidura semirubra

The Manus fantail is a bird species endemic to the Admiralty Islands of Papua New Guinea. It is a monotypic species, meaning it is the only one of its kind within its genus. Historically, the Manus fantail has been seen on Manus Island itself, but more recently it has been sighted on smaller surrounding islands like Tong, Rambutyo, and others in the San Miguel and Fedarb groups.
