Lemon-browed Flycatcher

Broad red-orange eyestripe glows like lava on this shy, jewel-like bird. Male has deep blue underparts with thin tiger-like barring on the sides of the chest. Female is pale below with fine dark barring. Forages quietly on the floor of dense lowland forests. Most common calls are a quiet roar and a short, descending “pr-r-r-r-r”.

Medium-sized flycatcher with a long slender bill and orange underparts. Male is ocean-blue above, with a lighter-colored forehead, rump, and shoulder patches; darker than similar male Bornean Blue Flycatcher. Female is dark brown above, with paler orange underparts and a blue tail—a plumage unique within this species’s range. Favors inland lowland and lower foothill forests (away from Mangrove Blue Flycatcher’s coastal habitat) and not as strongly associated with riverways and streams as Malaysian Blue Flycatcher. Song is a series of three to four high whistles.

A chunky, medium-sized barbet with a yellowish belly; a red face is raggedly edged with a bold black cowl and breast band. In some forms the face is instead white or yellow. Pairs are resident in the canopy and mid-strata of a variety of open and closed woodlands, riverine forest, and cultivated areas, where they glean fruit and insects. Pairs sing a colorful and characteristic duet, “two-pudley, two-pudley, two-pudley”, that can go on for a minute or more. The similar Brown-breasted Barbet differs by having a broad brown breast band and a pale bill. Red-faced Barbet has black underparts.
