Meratus Blue Flycatcher
Cyornis kadayangensis Irham, Haryoko, Shakya, Mitchell, S, Burner, Bocos, Eaton, Rheindt, Suparno, Sheldon & Prawiradilaga, 2021
Muscicapidae — Chats, Old World Flycatchers
Meratus Blue Flycatcher, Cyornis kadayangensis, is a passerine of the Muscicapidae family found in the Meratus Mountains of southern Kalimantan in Borneo. It was formally named in 2021 by Irham and colleagues. The bird is known only from Mount Besar within that range. It lives in montane rainforest, secondary growth and rubber plantations, and is most often found between 900 and 1,300 m. Like other members of its genus, it shows clear differences between the sexes, with males and females differing in plumage. Its ecology remains little studied, though it has been seen feeding in mixed flocks with other insect-eating birds.
