Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A beautiful small flycatcher. Mostly pale whitish gray below and dark blue above. Crown and cheek vivid sky blue, throat chestnut, and bill bright red. Prefers native mature forest in hills, avoiding regrowth. Similar to Vanikoro Flycatcher, but distinguished by vivid blue head markings and reduced rufous below. Almost identical to Azure-crested Flycatcher, but range does not overlap. Voice poorly known, but calls include typical churring and buzzing notes.
