Tanda lapangan kunci

• Plumage Pattern. Look for the distinct black (male) or greyish-black (female) upperparts, head, and throat, contrasting sharply with the white (male) or greyish-white (female) underparts. The white shoulder patch (male) and prominent white wing bar are key.
• Tail Posture. Observe its behavior on the ground; it frequently holds its long tail upright, often flicking it up and down.
• Song. Listen for its rich, varied, and melodious song, often delivered from a prominent perch. It includes whistles, trills, and mimicry.
• Habitat. They are commonly found in gardens, parks, and human-modified landscapes, making them relatively easy to spot in urban and suburban areas.
