This is a paradise flycatcher. The males of the species have very long tails. As the name suggests, they are insectivorous — mainly catching their prey while in flight. I photographed this one on the island of Nosy Mangabe off the east coast of Madagascar. The background is a bit out of focus and motion blurred, but you can see that the bird is perched on a branch over a small waterfall. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 185mm) ISO 400, f/2.8 at 1/60th of a second, two SB-800 strobes
