Having a tail that is coppery in color; used as a zoological descriptor for certain birds or animals.
Compound of coppery (copper-colored) and tailed (having a tail), used primarily in scientific classification to describe species distinctions and visual characteristics.
Many bird species are named with color-tail descriptors like this, allowing naturalists to communicate exactly what they're observing—some copperytailed birds were named before photography existed, so these descriptions became the standard identity for the species.
