Broad-billed Flycatcher

Myiagra ruficollis

The Broad-billed Flycatcher, scientifically known as Myiagra ruficollis, is a small passerine bird native to the forests and woodlands of Australia and nearby islands. This species is characterized by its striking plumage, with a vibrant blue crown and upperparts, contrasting with a white throat and underparts. The male sports a distinctive broad black bill, while the female has a slightly smaller bill. These agile birds are often observed perching in the canopy, where they hunt for insects and small invertebrates. The Broad-billed Flycatcher's melodious song can be heard echoing through the forest, adding to the charm of its natural habitat.
