モリヒタキ Fraseria ocreata

True to their name, African Forest-Flycatchers prefer areas of dense forest with tall trees, often near water, where they forage in groups or mixed-species flocks high above the ground. When foraging, this classically dark-above, pale-below flycatcher perches more horizontally than many other flycatchers. The white undersides are broken by gray scalloping on the chest and flanks. Distinguished from other African flycatchers by its more horizontal posture, light scalloping on the chest, and uniformly gray face and upperparts. Often detected by its calls, which include a multi-parted song of falling “tseer, cheer” notes followed by a variable harsh chatter. Dry buzzy chatter calls are given separately as well.
