Indigo Flycatcher

Eumyias indigo

The Indigo Flycatcher (Eumyias indigo) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests and woodlands of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. This species is known for its striking deep blue plumage, with males displaying a vibrant indigo coloration on their upperparts. Females and juveniles have a more subdued bluish-gray plumage. Indigo Flycatchers are often observed perching in the mid-canopy, where they sally out to catch flying insects. Their melodious and varied songs can often be heard echoing through the forest. Despite their small size, these birds are agile and adept at catching insects in mid-air.
