Sulawesi Blue Flycatcher

Cyornis omissus

A colorful blue-and-orange flycatcher. Entirely dark blue above and orange below, including most of throat. Pairs and singles inhabit understory of forest, edges, and patches from lowlands to mountains, although scarce in mountains. Differs from Rufous-throated and Snowy-browed Flycatchers in the orange belly, and from male Blue-fronted Blue Flycatcher in the largely orange throat. Female’s blue back separates her from female Blue-fronted Blue Flycatcher. Warbling song starts with high-pitched rising notes before descending into a short, lower-pitched warble. Also gives metallic “tchak” notes.
