Malaysian Blue Flycatcher
Cyornis turcosus Brüggemann, 1877
Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers
Malaysian Blue Flycatcher, Cyornis turcosus, is a passerine in the Muscicapidae family that breeds in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. It was described by Brüggemann in 1877. It is a lowland bird of secluded riverine forest in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, and it also occurs in a range of dry and wet forests on Borneo. A useful field mark is its fairly even blue head, which lacks the stronger pale or dark patterning seen in many other blue flycatchers.
