The species is 50 to 68 cm (20 to 27 in) in length, with a wingspan of approximately 1.12�1.36 m (3.7�4.5 ft). Male and female individuals appear similar. The body weight is 310�600 g (11�21 oz).[2][3] The body is a contrasting deep black and white. The flight feathers, tail, feet, bill are all black. Another characteristic is the elongated, forked tail at 27.5�37 centimetres (10.8�14.6 in), hence the name swallow-tailed. The wings are also relatively elongated, as the wing chord measures 39�45 cm (15�18 in). The tarsus is fairly short for the size of the bird at 3.3 cm (1.3 in).[4]
