Bornean Blue Flycatcher

Cyornis superbus

The Bornean Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis superbus) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the montane forests of Borneo. It is known for its striking blue plumage on the upperparts and a rufous-orange throat and breast. The male has a vibrant blue crown and back, while the female has a more subdued brownish-gray plumage. This species is often observed perched on branches or low vegetation, making short sallies to catch insects. It is a vocal bird, with a melodious and varied song. The Bornean Blue Flycatcher is a delightful sight in the dense understorey of the forest, where it forages for small invertebrates.
