Doherty's Jungle Flycatcher

Heleia dohertyi

Doherty's Jungle Flycatcher (Heleia dohertyi) is a small passerine bird found in the montane forests of New Guinea. It is known for its distinctive black and white plumage, with a black head and back, white underparts, and a striking white stripe above the eye. This species is often observed foraging for insects in the dense undergrowth of the forest, where it uses its agile flight and sharp, insect-catching beak to capture prey. Doherty's Jungle Flycatcher is known for its melodious and varied song, which it uses to communicate with other members of its species and establish territories.
