rattlebrain
Easily distracted fool
A rattlebrain is a scatterbrained or flighty person—someone whose thoughts seem to rattle around loosely rather than staying focused.
The word is old-fashioned and mildly affectionate rather than harsh: Don't be such a rattlebrain; you've forgotten your keys again.
Also rattlebrained as an adjective.
