Bornean Blue Flycatcher

Cyornis umbratilis

The Bornean Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis umbratilis) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests of Borneo. It has a distinctive blue plumage on the upperparts and a pale blue throat, with the female having a more subdued coloration. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. Bornean Blue Flycatchers forage for insects by making short flights from perches in the understory, and they are known to be territorial during the breeding season. Although not globally threatened, habitat loss due to deforestation poses a potential risk to their populations.
