A long-tailed, slender songbird with fine bill. Male entirely glossy blue-black. Female a rich chestnut above, white below, with black crown and face (in poor light, may appear dark above; compare Restless and Paperbark flycatchers).

Rufous-throated Flycatcher
Ficedula rufigula
A small flycatcher with a rufous throat, a white belly, and dark gray upperparts and head. Female is duller below, with a pale line between bill and eye and a dark brown back, wings, and rump. Singles or pairs inhabit dense forest understory of lowlands and hills. Restricted to Sulawesi. Differs from the larger Sulawesi Blue Flycatcher in its white belly and rufous chin. Absence of white eyebrow and darker upperside separate it from Snowy-browed Flycatcher. Gray head and absence of orange between bill and eye distinguish it from Lompobattang Flycatcher. Song is a very thin, high-pitched whistle, “tsee-tsoo” or “tsee-tsoo-tsee.” Also gives chattering calls.
River Prinia
Prinia fluviatilis
An active, slender, unstreaked warbler with a long graduated tail that is sometimes cocked. Gray-brown above and pale below, with a distinctive pale eyebrow. Found near water, but in arid areas, in tall grass, reeds, and bushes. Similar in appearance to Tawny-flanked Prinia, but slimmer and paler below, and also usually distinguished by habitat and song. The song is a quick series of high-pitched “seep” notes, similar to Tawny-flanked Prinia’s but higher-pitched, purer, and less scratchy.
Marsh Tapaculo
Scytalopus iraiensis
Small, dark ash-gray tapaculo. Note the unbarred dark brown vent. Occurs in marshy areas with dense tall grasses and sedges, where usually devilishly difficult to see. The song is a long (c. 30 seconds) repetition of “tchek” notes.
