Flycatcher 3/25 - Blue & White flycatcher

  Blue & White flycatcher
The Blue-and-white Flycatcher, Cyanoptila cyanomelana is a migratory songbird. It breeds in Japan, Korea, and in parts of China and Russia. During winter they do travel vast distance to South East Asia, especially in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Sumatra and Borneo.

These photos belongs to a female B&W. The male is blue bodied with darkish blue chest except its belly is pure white. Size is large for a flycatcher - 18 cm or slightly 7 inches big. Hope to see the male some day.......
