Monarca de Richards Monarcha richardsii

A stunning medium-sized monarch. Glossy purple-black above and on the face and chest, rusty below, with a bluish-gray bill. Conspicuous white on the head extends back into a half-collar. Mostly found in primary and secondary forest, but apparently tolerant of disturbance. Common call is a wavering, haunting, ghost-like whistle. Also gives chattering scolding notes.
