Indochinese Blue Flycatcher

Cyornis sumatrensis (Sharpe, 1879)

Indochinese Blue Flycatcher, Cyornis sumatrensis, is a passerine in the Muscicapidae family and breeds from southern Myanmar and the Malay Peninsula through Indochina to northeastern Sumatra. It is a bird of the Oriental Region. The species is marked by variation across its range, with differences in plumage and size, and several regional populations have been given subspecies names. The Thai and southern Myanmar population is indochina, while sumatrensis occurs on Sumatra Island and the Malay Peninsula, and lamprus is found on the Anamba Islands. It was once treated as the same species as Tickell's blue flycatcher.
