Observation details
I watched a female on an electrical transmission wire pumping her tail before a male landed on her back, presented her a grasshopper or katydid meal item over her right shoulder before flying away without copulating. This is the exact description of pre-copulatory behavior described in “The Birds of the World” article for this species, except no copulation observed.
